The announcement, shared by Bishop Boxing Promotions on January 30, 2026, highlights Yakubu as a rising star whose talent and determination make him a key part of the promotion’s vision to elevate Ghanaian fighters onto bigger stages.
Yakubu, a hard-hitting southpaw, has quickly built an impressive profile in the professional ranks. He remains a standout talent in the lightweight division, known for his aggressive style and knockout power. His record includes strong performances in local bouts, most notably a competitive challenge against national lightweight champion Joseph “Jaguar” Commey on January 1, 2026, at the Bukom Boxing Arena during Bishop Promotions’ “Best of Bukom 2” event.
Although he came up short in that title fight via a controversial majority decision, Yakubu’s resilience and skill in the ring earned widespread respect and showcased his potential.
Bishop Boxing Promotions, led by CEO Dave Bishop (also known as Nana Ekow Amu I), has been at the forefront of Ghana’s boxing resurgence.
The promotion has organised high-profile cards at iconic venues like the Bukom Boxing Arena, focusing on talent development, regulatory improvements, and international exposure following reforms in Ghanaian boxing governance.
Their events have spotlighted both established names and emerging fighters, contributing to renewed fan interest and credibility in the sport.
This signing aligns with Bishop’s mission to nurture the next generation of Ghanaian champions and tap into the global boxing market. Yakubu’s addition strengthens their roster and positions him for bigger opportunities ahead.
As Ghanaian boxing continues its upward trajectory, with growing events, stronger organisation, and fresh talent, the partnership between Majid Yakubu and Bishop Boxing Promotions promises more thrilling chapters to come. Fans can expect to see this rising star in action soon, fueling hopes for a new era of success for Ghana on the world stage.
