Braimah Kamoko, aka Bukom Banku, has
knocked out Ayittey Powers in a special bout in Kumasi on Boxing Day, December
26.
Ayittey Powers took a beating in the
opening five rounds and could not regain his composure to return to the ring
for round six.
Even though Powers endured the fight
in this bout better than he did in a similar bout in Accra against Banku last
year, he still could not withstand Banku's heavy punches.
Banku calmly controlled the
exchanges and pounded on his opponent round after round.
At the end of round five, Powers did
not make it back for the commencement of the next round, enabling Kamoko to
pick up the technical knockout decision.
Banku remains unbeaten, improving
his record to 27 wins. He said his next bout would be a world title fight
against Brit Nathan Cleverly.
Banku was presented with a brand new
SUV Range Rover, a ticket for a holiday trip to South Africa and a cash prize
of Ghc100, 000 donated by Joy Industries, producers of Joy Dadi Bitters.
Joy FM's boxing expert was there for
