Anthony Joshua’s first visit to Ghana

This spiritual encounter was part of a packed weekend for the two-time unified heavyweight champion, who was in Ghana for the very first time.

Touching down at Kotoka International Airport on Friday, June 13, Joshua received a warm and vibrant welcome.

His purpose? To support Sharaf Mahama’s ambitious boxing initiative, Battle of the Beasts, a collaboration with retired British fighter Amir Khan.

The event aimed to promote boxing among Ghana’s youth and spotlight local talent.

The action unfolded at the Trust Sports Emporium in Bukom, a community steeped in boxing history.

The 35-year-old didn’t just make a guest appearance; he mingled with key figures in African boxing, including the legendary Azumah Nelson.

The fight night lived up to expectations. From the opening match featuring Jerry Lartey, who also serves in the Ghana Armed Forces, to the closing bout starring Bukom Banku’s son, Ambitious Tilapia, the crowd was treated to an explosive blend of athleticism and entertainment.

The headline fight between Ghana’s Jacob Dickson and American-born Briton Andrew Tabiti, however, didn’t go as hoped for local fans.

According to BoxRec, the bout ended in disappointment for the Ghanaian as Tabiti dropped Dickson three times, prompting a fourth-round stoppage.

Anthony Joshua’s visit wasn’t just about boxing—it was a full-circle moment of culture, connection, and community.
