Ghana, Tuesday 29th April 2025 – World-class boxing is coming to Ghana this summer, as Legacy Promotions, in partnership with AK Promotions, today officially announces a major fight night on Friday 13th June 2025 – headlined by Andrew Tabiti vs Jacob Dickson and the long-awaited return of British fan-favourite Ohara Davies, broadcast live around the world on DAZN.
The event marks a historic moment for African boxing, with the continent set to host a night of elite international matchups, future world champions, and raw local pride – all under the promotional leadership of Amir Khan, who relaunches AK Promotions for the occasion.
Sharaf Mahama, CEO of Legacy Promotions said: This isn’t just a boxing event – it’s a statement. Ghana has a deep legacy in the sport, and we’re proud to honour that by bringing world-class talent to African soil. This is the first of many. Our mission is to build a platform where African fighters shine globally and fans get the unforgettable nights they deserve. The world is watching, and Ghana is ready.
Former World Champion, and CEO of AK Promotions Amir Khan said: ““Ghana is a place I would’ve loved to fight – the energy, the history, the passion for boxing is unreal. As a former world champion, I know how important it is to open doors for the next generation. That’s why I’m back, not in the ring but behind the scenes , to help build something lasting. We’re here to leave a legacy and light the path forward for African boxing.”
In the main event, Andrew Tabiti (21-2, 17 KOs), the American former world title challenger known for his explosive power and smooth style, collides with Ghana’s own Jacob Dickson (14-1, 13 KOs) in an 8-round cruiserweight clash that promises fireworks. With Dickson hungry to defend his home turf and Tabiti eager to reignite his world title journey, this is a must-watch moment on the road to global contention.
Co-headlining the night is the return of Ohara “Two Tanks” Davies (25-4, 18 KOs) who ends his surprise retirement for a “bucket list” comeback bout against Tanzania’s Mohammed Aliseni (22-9-3, 13 KOs). Known for his knockout power and outspoken personality, Davies has long been one of British boxing’s most enigmatic figures – and fans will be watching closely as he steps back through the ropes in Ghana for one last run.
The undercard is stacked with African champions, Olympic pedigree, and future global stars:
- Daniel Gorsh (15-0, 11 KOs) vs Theophilus Allotey (7-4) – 10 rounds (WBO Africa Bantamweight Title)
- Ahmed Abdula (8-0, 7 KOs) vs Haruna Mohammed (5-1, 5 KOs) – 10 rounds (Ghana National Title)
- Shiloh Defreitas (5-0, 3 KOs) vs Jessie Lartey (9-10) – 6 rounds

- Abu Kamoko (3-0, 3 KOs) vs Abdul ‘Boyka’ Salam – 4 rounds
Of particular note is Bulgarian sensation Radoslav Rosenov, dubbed “the Bulgarian Ben Whittaker” – one of the most decorated amateur boxers of this generation, now making waves in the pro ranks with his flamboyant style and Olympic-calibre skillset.
Legacy Promotions, the rising force in African boxing, has joined forces with Amir Khan and AK Promotions to deliver an unforgettable night that not only puts Ghana in the global spotlight, but sets the tone for the future of boxing across the continent.
