Sharaf’s journey from football to sports management
Sharaf, the son of Ghana’s sitting president John Dramani Mahama, has long been associated with sports.
He once pursued football, reaching the semi-professional level, with his last stint coming at Rostocker FC in Germany, according to Transfermarkt.
Although his playing days did not reach the heights he once imagined, he redirected his passion into sports development.
Through Legacy Rise Sports, he has organised several major boxing nights, including the popular Battle of the Beasts held earlier this year at the Trust Sports Emporium in Bukom.
Below is a reel of Sharaf's Battle of the Beasts event:
That event, staged in partnership with British boxing legend Amir Khan, drew a star-packed crowd that included two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
He will return with another thrilling spectacle titled The Showdown, scheduled for December 20 at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon, promising fans another unforgettable night of action.
