He has therefore appealed to the chief to at all times rally behind him and show him love as he continues to make the Zabarma people proud.

He revealed that he started his boxing career at Bukom a suburb of Accra where he lived with his fellow Zabarma people, adding that most of the Zabarma people in Bukom are into boxing.

He expressed his joy in meeting the Greater Accra Zabarma Chief and elders of the Zabarma community which according to him, has been his wish as a young boxer.

On his part, the Greater Accra Zabarma Chief and Paramount Chief of the Zabarma community in Ghana, Sarki Alhaji Musah Yahaya Yendu assured the young champion of the support from the Zabarma communities across the country.

According to him, the visit of the African Junior Welterweight champion to his Palace is not a visit to only the palace but a visit to the entire Zabarma people.

He called on all Zabarma people in Ghana to contribute their quota positively to the growth of Ghana.

Sarki Musah Yahya Yendu instructed Sarki Masawo Modi to as a matter of urgency create social media platforms that will promote the boxer and his activities.
