Bukom Banku’s conqueror, Bastie Samir (16-0-1, 15 KOs), will be making a return to the ring on January 27th at the Bukom Boxing Arena.

Samir will be facing Tanzania and East & Central Africa Professional Boxing Federation Super Middleweight champion, Benson Mwakyembe (11-3-1, 6 KOs) of Tanzania.

Samir-Mwakyembe fight will be on the undercard of Emmanuel ‘Game Boy’ Tagoe-Fernando David Saucedo IBO lightweight championship.

Samir carved a niche for himself in October 2017 when he became the first man to beat loud-mouth Bukom Banku.

The former Olympian stopped Bukom Banku in round seven in their scheduled cruiserweight contest that came off at the Bukom Boxing Arena.
