"Boxers make more from war titles" - Sports journalist

"For example someone like Isaac Dogbe, he had a bout with Robeisy Ramirez, I think that was back in 2023 or so and he reportedly raked in over $400,000 from just that bout," he said.

He explained that as a boxer if you get to a point in your career where you battle for war titles, you make a lot of money. However, he said that if you only rely on local matches, you do not make that much.

"I think Bukom Banku did not really go that far where he was battling with war titles and all of that. So maybe it would look like that for him," he said.
