Sampson Segbedzi, Ghana’s National Welterweight Champion, isn’t just flexing his muscles; he’s flexing his financial prowess too. This Ashaiman-based pugilist, a force to be reckoned with in the ring, recently issued a bold challenge to any and all welterweights across Africa. He’s not shy about it, either. In an exclusive chat at The Gym in Accra – think sweat, steel, and serious ambition – Segbedzi made it crystal clear: he’s expensive, and he knows it.
“Let’s be frank,” he declared, a glint in his eye. “These titles didn’t come cheap. Boxing’s a business, and I’m in it to win – both in the ring and in the bank.” He’s not just talking about prize money; he’s talking about a fair return on his considerable investment in training and self-improvement. He’s a shrewd businessman disguised as a knockout artist, a savvy operator who understands the value of his brand.
His rise to the top was meteoric. Defeating Isaac Commey to snatch the National Championship was a pivotal moment, a real turning point. He now boasts an impressive collection of titles: the National Championship, the UBO Africa Welterweight title, and even the PST Tanzania belt.
This isn’t just about national glory for Segbedzi, though. His sights are firmly set on continental and even global domination. He’s aiming for the stars, folks. The world title is firmly in his sights.
