The governing body for professional boxing in this country, the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) have pledged their unflinching support and encouragement for victory in a goodwill message to undefeated West Africa featherweight champ, Alfred ‘Bukom Bomber’ Lamptey (8-0, 6 KOs) with barely 3 days to his double world youth title bid against Iddi Kayumba of Tanzania (13-3-2, 7 KOs) this Saturday, September 4 at the Bukom Boxing Arena.
New GBA President, Abraham Kotei Neequaye and members of his executive board already demonstrated that by visiting the young Lamptey in training at the Black Panthers Gym in Accra last week, during which they also offered a token financial support to the still burgeoning Ghanaian fighter who beat the experienced George Krampah in Accra in March to win both the WABU and UBO Africa featherweight belts.
He remains undefeated, boasting eight straight victories at the beginning of his career, with 6 knockouts to boot.
