But after crossing the hurdle of never fighting outside Ghana, Bukom Banku is now hungry for more and has vowed not to let his advancing age stop him from greatness.

“This is my first international fight and I will want everyone to continue to pray for me to win my next fight. I didn't have any support in Britain, there were only two Ghanaians in the stands, but by God's grace I used my sensibility to win my fight. My next fight will be next month and by God's grace I will stop my opponent in round 4 and I urge everyone to pray for me because Ghanaians love me,” Banku told the press gathered at the airport.

The Ghanaian cruiserweight boxer and the current WBO African champion will be expected to mount the ring again in later this year.
