Ghanaian boxer Seth Gyimah, popularly known as Freezy
Macbones, handed Nigerian boxer Oladimeji Salami his first career defeat
in a middleweight contest at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra.
Coming into Saturday’s bout, Salami was 5-0, but a round three
knockdown by Freezy Macbones ensured a flawless victory for the Ghanaian
boxer.
Freezy Macbones was originally scheduled to fight Senegalese boxer
Seydou Konate, but the contest was cancelled due to unforeseen
circumstances with Salami stepping in.
Freezy Macbones was, however, not perturbed by the Konate revenge
setback, as he dominated Salami, handing him his first career loss.
The bout began in blistering fashion as the Ghanaian boxer came out
of the blocks with some good body shots despite not landing any
clear-cut power punches.
The unpreparedness of Salami was exposed in the third, as he was
unable to contain a flurry of punches from Freezy Macbones, with the
referee stepping in to stop the fight.
It was the third victory of Freezy Macbones professional career,
especially after his inability to secure Olympic qualification at the
African Boxing Olympic qualifiers in September 2023.
