In a significant boost to Ghanaian boxing, undefeated WBO Africa Super Lightweight Champion Faisal “Poncho Power” Abubakari has officially signed with Bishop Boxing Promotions.
The announcement marks a major step for the Accra-based fighter, who brings an impeccable professional record of 20–0 (15 knockouts) and continental title prestige to the promotional outfit.
Abubakari, a product of the Charles Quartey Boxing Foundation Gym, captured the WBO Africa super lightweight (junior welterweight) belt in a unanimous decision victory over Ugandan challenger Latibu Muwonge and has since defended it successfully.
The deal was confirmed by Bishop Boxing Promotions, led by CEO and President Dave Bishop.
The promotion, which operates in both Ghana and the United States, aims to elevate African talent through elite events, athlete development, and sustainable career pathways.
Abubakari’s signing, alongside other prospects such as Majid Yakubu, underscores Bishop’s commitment to revitalising Ghana’s boxing scene by attracting sponsors, broadcasters, and international attention.
Abubakari expressed his excitement about the move, stating his desire to face bigger opponents and take his career to new heights under the Bishop banner. His arrival has already sent a strong message across the region, highlighting the promotion’s growing influence and focus on building legitimate champions.
This partnership positions “Poncho Power” for potentially bigger fights and greater exposure, as Bishop Boxing Promotions continues to stage high-profile cards and champion the next generation of Ghanaian boxers on both local and global stages.
Fans can expect exciting developments ahead as the undefeated champion embarks on this new chapter.
