Ghanaian Mixed Martial Art(MMA) fighters, Emmanuel Lamptey (a.k.a Warrior), Richard Asiedu (a.k.a King Boyka) and their Nigerian teammate Adim Chukuebuka (also known as Sky Money) are confident of a knockout win in the upcoming MMA bout.
The teammates, who are with the Heroes Fighting Gym, will be fighting at the Global Warrior Champions Night of MMA Lightweight fight card on 19th September, 2025.
Warrior has a 2-0-0 MMA record so far and he will be fighting Ben Bazi from Nigeria;
“I don’t like to brag put the ring, because it is easier said than done. But when you are locked in the ring with your opponent, that is where action speaks.”
Speaking in his native Ga language, Emmanuel Lamptey (a.k.a Warrior) added that ‘I feel as though there is no competition before me. For me, the longest I have stayed in the ring with any opponent has been in the second round.
“In Ghana, Ghanaians are more focused on football and boxing. MMA just got introduced recently and our fights don’t get the needed publicity and so I will try my best to get it the needed attention”.
King Boyka, whose birth name is Asiedu Richard, a 2-3-0 MMA record and was quick to mention during the recent interview that he has promised never to lose any bout again;
“They should expect a special fight from me and they should expect a knockout. By round 2 I should finish the game”
“I started Taekwando since 2008 and I entered kickboxing in 2017. I have won medals in Taekwando bouts but I fell in love with kickboxing when I discovered it” King Boyka mentioned.
His name Boyka is derived an actor in the movie Undisputed which was about a prison fighting tournament.
Boyka is assuring his fans that even though his last fight was a lose, he is coming out stronger this time around against Felix Okoria from Nigeria.
“Hearing my fans screaming my name motivates me and I want to see them there!”.
Teammate Adim Chukuebuka (also known as Sky Money) is fighting Mensah Aka Prince from Côte d’Ivoire on the fight card at the Bukom Boxong Arena.
Sky Money has 2-0-0 MMA record and he believes he is going to study his opponent who is a grappler in the first round and knock him out in the second round.
“On Friday, I am fighting a different opponent who is a grappler. Whenever you try to kick or punch him, he will like to take tou down. So I will use the first round to study him and in the second round I have to knock him out” Sky Money said during an interview at the Heroes Fighting Gym.
He added that ‘MMA have shaped my life and has solved a lot of things for me mentally, physically, so I just want to be a world champion”.
