Ghanaian boxer, Seth Gyamfi, popularly known as Freezy Macbones, says he will no longer participate in the upcoming boxing Olympic qualifiers.
Freezy Macbones could have taken another chance at securing a spot at this year’s Olympic Games at the World Tournament Qualification in Bangkok from May 23 to June 3, 2024.
But the sensational boxer, who could not secure a spot at the African Olympic Qualifiers in Dakar, Senegal, has decided to pull out completely and concentrate on his professional career.
A statement released by the boxer said: “I would like to express my gratitude to all members of the Ghana national boxing team for giving me the opportunity to represent my country.
“However, I will no longer be competing in the qualifiers for the Olympic Games in 2024. I have decided to spend the rest of my career developing as a professional boxer and focus on promoting great events with Macbones Promotions.
“Thank You all for the support. Future fight announcements coming soon.” Freezy Macbones, after losing to Seydou Konate last September, bounced back with a win against Nigerian boxer, Oladimeji Salami, in a middleweight contest at the Bukom Boxing Arena few weeks ago.
Meanwhile, young and elite boxers from all over the country will gather at the Modak Hotel Junction in Korle-Worko to showcase their boxing prowess on Saturday, January 27, 2023.
The second day of the championship at the Bukom Football Park on Sunday, January 28, 2023, would see these boxers receive their crowning moments after their successful displays.
Organised by the SM Boxing Foundation in collaboration with the Ghana Boxing Federation, the championship, which is the first of its kind, would produce some talents to the national boxing team, the Black Bombers.
With the possibility of joining the Black Bombers available, patrons are expected to be treated with natural boxing prowess from the hundreds of boxers expected at the two-day championships. –GNA
