Ghanaian boxer Freezy “Macbones” has made a compassionate gesture by donating GH₵3,000 to the daughter of the late boxing icon Ernest “Bahubali” Akushey, underscoring the enduring bonds within Ghana’s boxing fraternity.
The donation, made ahead of Macbones’ highly anticipated bout against Joshua Tetteh scheduled for December 23, 2025, is intended to support the welfare and education of the late boxer’s child. Akushey, popularly known as Bahubali, was celebrated for his contributions to the local boxing scene before his untimely passing, and his legacy continues to resonate within the sport.
Speaking through his team, Macbones described the support as a tribute to a fallen hero whose impact transcended the ring. “This is about respect, remembrance and responsibility,” he noted, adding that the boxing community must stand together, especially in moments of need.
The gesture has been widely praised by fans and officials, who see it as a powerful example of sportsmanship beyond competition. As preparations intensify for the December 23 showdown, Macbones’ act of generosity has added a human story to the build-up, highlighting values of solidarity and compassion alongside the pursuit of victory.
The bout against Tetteh is expected to draw significant attention, with both fighters eager to close the year on a strong note, while honouring the memories and legacies that continue to shape Ghanaian boxing.
