Who is Duke Micah?

Affectionately called the Baby-faced Terminator, Micah is widely regarded as one of Ghana’s brightest boxing talents.

Born and raised in Bukom, the country’s boxing hub, he represented Ghana at the 2012 London Olympics.

Although he was eliminated after just two rounds, the experience laid a strong foundation for his career.

Duke Micah's boxing records and achievements

He turned professional on November 2, 2012, and quickly made a name for himself with an impressive 24-bout winning streak.

His relentless style earned him respect in the boxing world.

However, in 2020, he faced defeat against John Riel Casimero in a title fight for the WBO bantamweight crown.

The bout was stopped in the third round with 54 seconds remaining, resulting in a third-round knockout loss.

That defeat marked a setback, leading to two more consecutive losses, including his last fight against Dominique Crowder in November 2024.

Despite these setbacks, Duke Micah boasts a knockout percentage of over 79%, according to BoxRec.

He previously held the WBO Africa bantamweight title, showcasing his skill and potential in the sport.

Has Duke Micah retired from boxing?

His recent losing streak has not boded well for him, especially after he quit in the first round of his scheduled eight-round fight against Dominique Crowder, per Oneboxinglife.

Reports indicate he has been suspended by the New Jersey Athletic Control Board indefinitely, but Duke has not officially communicated of retiring yet.

Now, as he celebrates a new chapter in his personal life, fans hope Duke can bounce back and continue to shine in the ring.
