A 2012 pro debutant, Sackey first captured the Ghana super bantamweight title in October 2017 before adding the WBO Africa strap in April the following year, all under the stewardship of Evans Bernie-Johnson.
Despite controversially losing the belt to compatriot Wasiru Mohammed in late 2018, Sackey rebounder swiftly to the reclaim the same title a year later via a UD over Michael Nyawade of Kenya in Keta, Ghana November 2019.
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic forced him to relinquish the continental belt and has fought just thrice since, including only the second loss of his pro career to Yevgeniy Pavlov in Kazakhstan in September 2021.
“Isaac has been a very good ward, we’ve had our ups and downs but it has generally been a good relationship which has brought us lots of happy moments together,” said the manager, Evans Bernie-Johnson.
“We begin this new chapter of his career with the only target to be campaigning for a world title soon. I’m committed to this ambition and will guide him to the best of my ability to help him achieve it,” he added.
