The much-anticipated bout was almost marred after Samir Bastie requested for new gloves because it was too tight for his bands to bare and that debate delayed the start of the bout.

After some minutes the issue was sorted out and the American based Ghanaian boxer changed his red gloves for brown one.

As if the change of gloves aided Bastie, as he dominated Bukom Banku from round three to the seventh round.

Bastie Samir in round 7 managed to land Bukom Banku.
