Ghanaian super flyweight champion Theophilus Kpakpo Allotey delivered a commanding performance last Friday, flooring Nigeria’s Lukman Akinolugbade with a fifth-round knockout during the Blood, Sweat and Tears boxing event at Accra Sports Stadium.
The highly anticipated showdown, organized by Wisdom Boxing Promotions, saw Allotey dominate from the opening bell, cementing his status as one of West Africa’s rising boxing talents.
Clad in Ghana’s national colors, Allotey (10-0, 7 KOs) lived up to his pre-fight promise to “teach modern lessons,” overwhelming Akinolugbade (8-5-1) with relentless aggression. The Nigerian, sporting black-and-white shorts, struggled to counter Allotey’s precision and power, ultimately collapsing to the canvas in Round 5 after a series of unanswered blows. “I’m ready for Africa, the Commonwealth, and the world,” Allotey declared post-fight, flanked by his trainer, renowned coach Dr. Ofori Asare.
The event, blending pugilism with cultural displays, drew enthusiastic crowds and showcased Ghana’s deepening boxing talent pool. Olympic standout Shakul Samed electrified the undercard with a swift knockout of Togo’s Fataou Garadima Yacoubou, while Joseph “Junior Bazooka” Antwi and Clinton Nana Adjei secured decisive wins. In a tactical featherweight clash, John Zile outclassed Haruna Oku, and Charles Amarteifio edged Patrick Ayi Aryee in a duel praised for technical flair.
Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) President Abraham Neequaye hailed Allotey’s trajectory: “He’s on the path to stardom. This victory signals Ghana’s resurgence in the sport.” Meanwhile, the night also served as a launchpad for emerging fighters, including Togolese contender Banorga D’beh Dominique, who triumphed over local favorite Alex Yartey.
As Allotey eyes regional and global titles, his latest win underscores Ghana’s boxing revival—a mix of seasoned prowess and fresh ambition. For fans, the message is clear: Accra’s ring is back in the spotlight.
