Accra, Feb. 16, GNA – Ghanaian Super Featherweight boxer Alfred Lamptey has signed a promotional contract with United States of America (USA) based outfit based Probellum.
Probellium a global boxing promotion and media company announced the deal on Wednesday, February 16, 2022.
Lamptey is the first fighter from Ghana to sign for Probellum, since the company was launched in September last year, but the organisation’s global plans had already seen a co-promotional deal signed with Box Office Sports in Ghana.
“I’m over the moon to sign for Probellum at what I believe is a very important time in my career,” said Lamptey. “Probellum has already signed a number of talented, up-and-coming fighters, and I feel they would be able to guide me as I try to achieve my ambition of becoming a world champion. “I have already won many African titles, but my dream is to make my mark on the world stage, and I’m confident that signing for Probellum would allow me to do that.” “Alfred Lamptey is a massive talent and we are obviously very pleased he has chosen to sign with us,” added Mr Richard Schaefer, President of Probellum. “Probellum is extremely passionate about providing opportunities for the stars of tomorrow, which quickly becomes apparent when looking at some of the signings we have made. “Alfred undoubtedly fits that category. He is undefeated in the professional ranks so far and there is no doubt he will go on to have a big future in boxing.”
Lamptey, one of African boxing’s rising stars, (10-0, 8 knockouts) is yet to experience defeat in the professional ranks since making his debut in 2019. Known as the ‘Bukom Bomber’, now hopes to follow in the footsteps of Nelson and other Bukom alumni including legendary fighters such as Ike Quartey and David Kotei.
The 19-year-old captured the vacant Ghanaian Super-featherweight title courtesy of a knockout victory over Emmanuel Otoo in his most recent bout last December, ensuring he now holds five separate belts including the World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth Silver Super-featherweight title and World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Youth Super-featherweight title.
