Freezy Macbones suffers shock loss to Worldwide
Macbones, who welcomed his second child a few weeks ago, entered the bout as the clear favourite, carrying momentum and confidence built over years of steady dominance. The build-up had been noisy, fuelled by Tetteh’s constant trash talk and mind games.
Those antics appeared to unsettle the more experienced fighter, setting the stage for a contest charged with emotion long before the first bell.
Once the action began, Tetteh showed no respect for reputation. Nicknamed Worldwide, the 25-year-old came out sharp and aggressive, controlling the opening two rounds with speed and intent. His early success hinted at a plan built on pressure and belief.
As the fight settled, Macbones, who is also into food production, responded. Drawing on his experience, the 36-year-old found his rhythm, working the body and snapping jabs that slowly shifted the momentum.

Over the middle rounds, he looked composed and purposeful, forcing his younger opponent onto the back foot.
Fatigue soon crept in for Tetteh. As the pace took its toll, he relied heavily on clinching to survive exchanges.
Even then, he refused to fold, digging deep to remain competitive and landing meaningful counters whenever space opened.
The contest took a dramatic turn in the eighth and final round. Amid rising tension, Tetteh went to the canvas after Macbones appeared to bite his shoulder, an act widely seen as a moment of frustration.
Below is the moment Freezy 'bit' Tetteh:
The referee deducted points from Macbones for unsportsmanlike conduct, a decision that would prove costly.
When the judges’ scorecards were read, the shock was immediate. All three sided with Tetteh, handing him the victory and the continental title. The scorecard read 80-73, 78-74, and 77-75 in Tetteh’s favour. As expected, the verdict triggered heated debate across social media.
