Accra, Jan. 20, GNA – 16yr old Armwrestler
Mariam Kadri Moro aka Yasmin has vowed to dethrone police woman Alberta Ampomah
Boatemaa as the best Armwrestler in Ghana.
Yasmin, who is affectionately called “Hajia
Vampire” has told the press in Accra and gone viral on social media to
challenge officer Alberta in a war of words saying “I am only 16yrs and have
been bullied enough by senior Alberta. Time to Stop her reign and be crowned
Ghana’s Best Female Armwrestler. Its Go Hard or Go Home! I am the Queen in
waiting”.
The young Armwrestler was introduced to the
sport at age 14 and has become a tough contender in Africa winning eight gold,
two silver and two bronze medals at two African Championships. Yasmin weighs
86kg and comes into Friday’s Showdown aiming to be Ghana’s strongest.
Undefeated Alberta Boatemaa Ampomah aka
“Sexy Gayoyo” on the other hand was decorated as Africa’s best female
puller in 2017 and 2018 with four gold medals.
She has swerved stiff competition from
police compatriot Grace Minta, current African Champion to face the bukom lad
known as Hajia Vampire.
Alberta comes into this battle as the
favourite combining experience with skill and mental toughness. She would
receive massive support from colleague police officers.
The attraction of the night would be the
heavyweight Male battles where Antwi Boasiako the Punisher would face off with
undefeated Derrick Kwakye aka Asoka Gh, Koffi Dabouku Anuoma from Togo and
Lebanese Ghanaian Fawzi Saoud the King.
The latter, born in Ghana has gone personal
already calling for a face-off with his bitterest rival the undefeated Derrick
Kwakye, Asoka Gh. Fawzi Saoud had indicated he won’t mind loosing all battles
and dethroning his rival.
Derrick Adu Kwakye who’s had one World and
two Africa Championship experience is poised to stay undefeated though
disadvantaged in weight. Named the Armwresler of the Year by the Sports Writers
Association of Ghana (SWAG), Kwakye who weighs 100kg would have to battle
114kg, 134kg and 127kg.
