ACCRA, Ghana – Former President John Dramani Mahama today welcomed two titans of the boxing world, Anthony Joshua and Ghana’s own Azumah Nelson, to his presidential villa in Accra.
The high-profile meeting brought together the celebrated British heavyweight champion and the revered Ghanaian boxing legend, affectionately known as “Zoom Zoom” and “The Professor,” a former three-time world champion.
The encounter, shared by the former president, saw the two boxing greats in a seemingly relaxed setting. While the specifics of their discussions were not immediately disclosed, the gathering of such prominent figures from the sport sparked considerable public interest.
Both Joshua and Nelson have significant fan bases in Ghana, with Nelson being a national icon and Joshua having strong ties to his Ghanaian heritage. The visit underscores the enduring appeal of boxing and the respect commanded by its leading figures in Ghana.
