Bukom Banku was not fit for Saturday's fight – Sarkodie

Rapper Sarkodie thinks that Bukom Banku was not fit to fight in last Saturday’s bout with Bastie Samir.

The rapper’s social media comments on Sunday raised concerns about why the boxer’s camp allowed him to fight.

Bastie Samir knocked Bukom Banku out in round seven of their scheduled 12 round non-title bout at the Bukom Boxing Arena on Saturday night.

It was Banku’s first defeat, and many thought how he was knocked out was humiliating.

He has since been trending on social media and traditional media circles with many trolling him.

Sarkodie is not a happy about the bout. He said he felt sad for Banku.

“Woke up sad …biggest Bukom Banku fan and heartbroken …he wasn’t looking fit for this bout,” Sarkodie posted on Twitter on Sunday.

Banku seemed not concerned about trolls. He told Accra-based radio Kasapa FM he made GHC50,000 from the defeat.

“I’ve lost the fight, but this is not a correct defeat. Bastie Samir is the winner but this is not a correct defeat. I’ll come back for a return fight on the sixth of March. When I defeated Ayitey Powers, he came for a rematch so Bastie has beaten me and I’ll come back for a return bout,” Banku said.
