It would be an honour to meet Azumah Nelson - Freezy Macbones

Seth Gyimah, also known as “Freezy Macbones,” a Ghanaian heavyweight boxer, says his ultimate goal is to meet famous fighter Azumah Nelson.

The fighter from the United Kingdom arrived in Ghana on Sunday, August 27, in response to the Ghana Boxing Federation’s invitation to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games qualifiers in Senegal.

Seth Gyimah will join Ghana’s Boxing squad, the Black Bombers, in Accra for the next Olympic Boxing Qualifiers in Dakar, Senegal, which will take place from September 9 to September 15, 2023.

In an exclusive interview with Citi Sports upon his arrival at Kotoko International Airport, the 33-year-old boxer expressed his desire to meet former Ghanaian fighter Azumah Nelson in order to pick up valuable lessons on his way to huge success in the next boxing qualifications.

“It will be a privilege to meet Azumah Nelson, to learn more skills and pick up more wisdom from him, to stay humble and get to learn more from him.”

“As a result, I’m looking forward to meeting him.”

Since making his professional debut against Christopher Wood in February 2003, Seth Gyimah has won two out of two fights.

The 33-year-old boxer won his second professional fight in April as the undercard of Joe Joyce vs. Chinese fighter Zhilei Zhang at the Cooper Box Arena in London, totally overwhelming veteran Darryl Sharp.

The Black Bombers have begun non-residential camping ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympic Qualifiers in Senegal in recent weeks.

In the following days, Freezy Macbones will join the present team for training.

When asked what he hopes to do with the Black Bombers, the 33-year-old stated that he hopes to win more medals for Ghana.

I believe dreams do come true, there’s nothing better than coming back home to give a little bit of knowledge to support your country.

We are looking forward to bring the victory, a lot of gold medals to Ghana

We are making our way to Senegal and it is going to be entertaining, it is going to be fun

At the end of the day, Ghana is going to bring a lot of the medals back home.

“Mohammed Kudus is yet another weapon for David Moyes” – Joe Cole

Kudus' first goal for West Ham brings his season total to five goals in six games, following his five goals for Ajax before entering the London Stadium. To far, the 23-year-old has scored nine goals in 18 appearances in the Champions League and Europa League. Kudus will now look to make his Premier League debut against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Former West Ham and Chelsea player Joe Cole praised Mohammed Kudus after the summer signing scored his first goal for the club in the team’s 3-1 Europa League victory against Backa Topola.

Kudus, who joined the Hammers for £38 million from Dutch giants Ajax, made his debut appearance for the club. The Ghanaian international was instrumental in West Ham’s comeback after Petar Stanic handed the Serbian visitors an unexpected lead.

Kudus applied pressure at the back post, which resulted in Nemanja Petrovic turning Said Benrahma’s cross into his own net in the 66th minute. Kudus sealed the comeback four minutes later with a headed goal from a James Ward-Prowse corner.

Joe Cole, appearing on TNT Sports, praised Kudus’ performance and believes the attacker will become a useful asset to David Moyes’ West Ham club.

“He [Kudus] looked like he was happy and settled,” Cole remarked. “He is another weapon for David Moyes. I look at this team and I see goals everywhere; it was a great night for West Ham.

George Owu justifies the choice of Andre Ayew in Ghana’s team, emphasising the need of experience

The club will require Ayew more at this level, according to the former Hasaacas shot-stopper, because the existing players are not properly grounded. "This is a young team with only a few seasoned players. The only experienced players are Andre Ayew and Jordan. Kudus, for example, are suddenly finding their feet," George Owu told Onua Sports. "Andre Ayew has made significant contributions to Ghana football, winning the U-20 World Cup in 2009, but he appears unhappy whenever he plays for Ghana due to the way fans treat him." "We must be patient with [Andre Ayew]." He will undoubtedly declare his retirement at some point, but for the time being, he is still required.

Former Black Stars custodian George Owu has pleaded with Ghanaians not to be judgmental of Andre Ayew’s selection in Ghana teams, despite his uneven club activities in recent months.

The Ghana captain is now without a club after leaving Premier League team Nottingham Forest at the end of last season.

He was, however, included in Chris Hughton’s latest squad for Ghana’s matches against the Central African Republic in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, as well as an international friendly against Liberia, which Ghana won 3-1.

Despite many Ghanaians’ reservations over the inclusion of the 33-year-old, George Owu agrees with Hughton’s reasoning, emphasising experience as a major aspect in the player’s invitation.

“We must be patient with [Andre Ayew].” He will undoubtedly declare his retirement at some point, but for the time being, he is still required.

“There are players who lack motivation to play because they are afraid of being criticised, and it will take people like Ayew to boost their morale.”

“The insults and criticisms are unnecessary, and they will not aid the new player’s adjustment,” he continued.
