Professional vs Amateur

“I’m a Pro fighter (Professional boxer) and Seydou Konate is an Amateur fighter (ranked below a professional boxer), so from Pro fight going back to amateur fight there’s a whole lot going to happen. How the judges score the match is different from how we see it.
“I always say this, anywhere I go I say to them, I won the fight, I beat Konate, I gave him eight standing counts big shot. But the only thing is that, they took a point away from me and gave it to him,” he explained.
Though defeated, the likened boxer by Floyd Money MayWeather believes he is desirous to seek revenge against Konate.
Fair fight
With this vision in mind, the boxer through his team Freezy Macbones Promotions are arranging for yet another bout, this time on home soil.

The UK-Mike Tyson as he is also called back in the United Kingdom disclosed, he has purposed to follow in the footsteps of legendary Prof. Azumah Nelson.
“We have so many young talented in Ghana, but they need a little bit push, they need opportunity, we need to support them to let their dreams become reality.
“We can do our own thing in Africa, when I’m in UK and I want to fight, I can make more money than I do it here, it’s obvious right, but why should I do that.
“I just want my people, the young boys here, the most talented young fighters, I want them to reach out to their dreams,” he explained.
Ahead of the much anticipated bout, which is 23rd December 2023 Freezy Macbones had this message for Seydou Konate.
“This is my message for Konate, you know how it goes baby, you got on lucky in the first round, no problem, now you are coming to my country, my city.
