Ghanaian boxer Freezy Macbones has presented his World Boxing Organization (WBO) Africa Light Heavyweight title to Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and the people of Asanteman during the seventh Akwasidae celebration at Manhyia Palace in Kumasi.

The presentation follows Macbones’ victory over Nigerian boxer Godday “Zodsolo” Appah, which earned him the continental title and marked a significant achievement in his boxing career.

The boxer presented the championship belt as a gesture of honour and appreciation to the Asantehene and the people of Asanteman, sharing his achievement with the traditional leadership and community.

The ceremony, held at the Manhyia Palace, formed part of the seventh Akwasidae celebration, an important occasion on the Asante traditional calendar that brings together chiefs, elders and members of the public to honour Asante customs and heritage.

Macbones’ achievement adds to Ghana’s presence in African boxing, highlighting the country’s continuing participation in the sport and the accomplishments of its professional fighters on the continental stage.

His presentation of the title to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II also underscored the role of traditional institutions in celebrating the achievements of individuals who bring recognition to their communities.

The victory over Appah and the subsequent presentation of the belt represent a proud moment for the boxer as he shares his success with the Asantehene and the people of Asanteman.
