Head Coach of Black Bombers, Ofori Asare, believes Olympics bronze medallist cum professional boxer Samuel Takyi has every potential tip for greatness in his early professional boxing career.
Asare, who coached Takyi at the amateur level at the recent Olympics, tips his training prowess as a sign of great things to happen for the young boxer. “Takyi has proven himself time and time again. From the time we selected him to the national team, to the qualifier and then to the Olympics game and now professional. I think the management did very well for getting him a fight at south Africa. Is a place where we don’t have the same sea level. I’m talking about high altitude country. Fighting there and the aggressiveness that they put on a boxer, who has already had 5 professional fight already and dominating him within the second round is a plus for him”, he applauded Takyi.
Coach Asare, detailed the early journeys of Takyi’s boxing career and debunk report of early commencement of professional career citing preparedness. “He started as a juvenile boxer. When you talk about the number of fights, he has a whole experience and in Ghana our juvenile boxers fight lots.
You can never go to the Olympics games and win bronze there is no luck. You can’t win Olympic bronze by luck, it is by effort, because you have to go through a series of qualification before you get there.
If he continues like this, he’ll have a bigger chance of getting us a world title”. Coach Asare is currently preparing boxers in a non-residential camping towards the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham this year.
