“I am very devastated by today defeat but nevertheless I always take positive thing from a negative situation,” he wrote on Twitter (X).
“I will bounce back, I will be back stronger. It is not over yet. I would like to sincerely thank Ghanaians for their support and my teammates as well. Love you all.”
Freezy Macbones used to be a mason in Ghana before moving to the United Kingdom, where he has now turned his life around.
His rise has been the archetypal grass-to-grace story, as he trended on social media after he roared to victory in just his second professional fight in April against veteran Darryl Sharp.
Meanwhile, Freezy Macbones will have another opportunity to qualify for the Olympic Games by fighting against boxers from other continents.
