Macbones appeared at the Akwasidae festival with his WBO Africa Light Heavyweight championship belt.
Speaking into a microphone before the Asantehene and those gathered at the colourful event, the boxer recalled visiting the palace before travelling to Nigeria for the fight.
Freezy Macbones thanked Otumfuo
According to Macbones, Otumfuo blessed his boxing gloves during his earlier visit, and he believes the prayers played an important role in the outcome of the bout.
He said:
“Earlier, I came to Otumfuo, and he blessed my gloves. A miracle has happened. Last week, I fought a Nigerian in Lagos. It was a tough bout, and those who watched it can testify.”
The Ghanaian fighter faced Nigeria’s Godday “Zodsolo” Appah in a fiercely contested ten-round bout in Lagos on October 1, 2026. He overcame the home favourite by majority decision to win the WBO Africa Light Heavyweight title.
Macbones said the victory and the new championship belt compelled him to return to the palace and personally thank the Asantehene for his support and blessings.
He added:
“After the fight, I was crowned WBO Africa champion, so I decided to come back and thank Nana.”
Boxer seeks another blessing
Macbones did not visit only to express appreciation. He also presented the WBO belt to Otumfuo and requested another round of prayers as he prepares for his next challenge.

Macbones said:
“I have another fight in December, and I need more wins, Nana. That is why I brought the WBO belt for Otumfuo to pray over it for me.”
His return created a memorable moment at the Akwasidae festival, with the continental champion publicly recognising the encouragement he received from the Asantehene before travelling to Nigeria.
The victory improved Macbones’ professional record to 13 wins and one defeat. It also marked a major comeback after he suffered the first loss of his career in December 2025.
