Ghanaian-based UK boxer Seth Gyimah who is popularly known by his stage name Freezy Macbone won his first bout in Ghana at the Bukom Boxing Arena on Saturday Night.
The 33-year-old boxer became popular when he first defeated veteran Darryl Sharp at the Copper Box Arena in London to become Light heavyweight champion.
Months Later, Seth Gyimah was invited by the Ghana Boxing Authority to join the Black Bombers team ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games Qualifiers. However, things did not go as planned as Freezy McBones lost to his Senegalese opponent Seydou Konate in the middleweight category on Saturday, September 9, through a unanimous decision.
The Ghanaian Boxer in an interview insisted he was cheated and should have won the fight. Freezy then called for a rematch against Senegalese Opponet Seydou Konate in Ghana which was later called off due to unforeseen circumstances.
The management later secured Nigerian boxer Oladimeji Salami as a replacement for the Senegalese boxer who pulled out earlier.
The Stage was set at the Bukom Boxing Arena on Saturday 23 December, 2023. Freezy Macbone handed his Nigerian opponent his first boxing Career defeat in Accra. Salami showed signs of a promising bout in the first and second rounds but could not contain the unending punches of the Ghanaian in the third round. Freezy then won the bout via a Technical Knockout.
Seth Gyimah has now won his third career bout after being eliminated from the Olympic Games Qualifiers. The Ghanaian is yet to decide whether to remain pro or continue in the amateur Division.
