Powers/Bukom Banku bout fixed for May 16
The Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) in consultation
with the camps of Braimah “Bukom Banku” Kamoko
and Michael “Ayittey Powers” Okine have fixed
Friday, May 16, for the much awaited bout at the
Accra Sports Stadium.

The fight, which was initially fixed for April 18,
had to be rescheduled, following the decision of
Ayittey Powers, to pull out of the fight due to
directives from his spiritual father T.B Joshua.

Information gathered by the GNA Sports indicates
that though all the parties agreed to the new
date, there were still some obstacles to clear
with regards to the camp of Ayittey Powers.

According to a source, Ayittey Powers, has asked
officials of the GBA and the promoters to give him
one week to consider the new date.

Sources within the GBA have hinted to GNA Sports
that, they may be compelled to impose sanctions on
Powers if he fails to show up for the fight.

According to the sources, the GBA is keen on
ensuring the sanctity of the game hence will go
every length to protect the image of game.

It would be recalled that, Powers early last week
chickened out of the bout against “Bukom
Banku” claiming he has been directed by his
spiritual father not to fight on the said date.
