The hugely anticipated 3rd edition of the Azumah Nelson boxing event dubbed Azumah Nelson Fight Night (formerly VIP Fight Night) returns on Saturday April 1 at the Bukom Boxing Square.

Promising boxers from Ghana, Benin and Lebanon will light up the crowd at the newly constructed boxing gymnasium.

The Azumah Nelson Fight Night Round 3 returns with five exciting match-ups lined up to make Accra the Las Vegas of African boxing. They include the National Super Featherweight Championship banter between Wahab Oluwaseun and Abraham Osei-Bonsu as well as the National Super Bantamweight contest between Isaac Sackey and Kamarudeen Boyefio.

Sherif Quaye squares off with Michael Dodo in a National Lightweight Championship battle with Ghanaian Raphael Mensah and Beninois Fatiou Fassious set to rumble in the International Middleweight contest.

The final bill on the night will see Lebanese Elias Farah facing off with Ghanaian ferocious Musa Rahman Lawson in an International Middleweight Amateur contest.
