Freezy Macbones: Why I chose to represent Ghana over UK
The 33-year-old boxer was involved in just his second professional fight last April as the undercard of the bout between Joe Joyce and Zhilei Zhang.
Facing veteran Darryl Sharp at the Copper Box Arena in London, MacBones completely dominated his opponent.
Despite his raw style, he combined heavy punches with aggressiveness as he coasted to victory by a unanimous decision over Sharp.
Highlights of the fight went viral on social media, with many Ghanaians eulogizing MacBonesâ aggressive style of boxing.
He has since represented Ghana in the Paris 2024 Olympic qualifiers before switching back to professional boxing in January this year.
His last fight came in May when he knocked out opponent Gabriel Adoku.
