Ghanaian boxer Bastie Samir has agreed to fight Brimah Kamako popularly known as "Bukom Banku" in a rematch of their non-title bout on June 30, 2018.

Bastie who knocked down Banku in the 7th round of a non-title bout last year has now agreed to a rematch.

The two boxers put pen to paper on the bout on Thursday, March 15, 2018, at the Old Kingsway opposite the Usher Fort in Accra.

After inking his side of the contract, Kamoko said, “I thank Bastie Samir for giving me a rematch. I admit I lost the first bout, but I want to tell Samir that my lost was of my own doing. This time he is not going to have his way. When I beat him there will be a third fight to settle matters.”

But Samir is optimistic about a second win against Kamoko.

“I won the first fight and I will beat him again in the rematch, I will not talk plenty. My fans should be rest assured that Kamoko will go down again.”

The venue for the bout is yet to be named as reports suggest it could be staged at the Tamale Stadium.
