0 Reigning UBO Africa Welterweight champion Sampson Segbedzi put on an impressive display of strength and dominance as he successfully retained his title for the second consecutive time.
Segbedzi also secured the Ghana National Welterweight Championship and the PST Tanzania Championship after challenger Isaac Commey was disqualified in the fifth round for a blatant headbutt.
The bout, which took place in an electric atmosphere, saw Segbedzi’s superior skills and control in the ring quickly becoming apparent. From the opening bell, Segbedzi showcased his technical mastery, using his sharp jab and footwork to keep Commey at bay. His boxing IQ was evident as he dictated the pace of the fight, neutralizing Commey’s aggressive approach with ease.
Commey, however, remained a determined challenger, trying to make his mark with powerful punches. But Segbedzi’s defence and counterattacks were on another level, frustrating Commey as the rounds went on. In the fifth round, Segbedzi’s dominance was further underlined when Commey, in a moment of frustration, landed a deliberate headbutt. The referee, having no choice, disqualified Commey, handing Segbedzi a victory by disqualification and securing him not only the retention of his UBO Africa Welterweight title but also two additional belts—the Ghana National Welterweight Championship and the PST Tanzania Championship.
With this win, Segbedzi’s record improves to an undefeated 9-0 (7 KOs), demonstrating his rising stature in the welterweight division. His ability to stay composed under pressure, adapt to his opponent’s style, and control the flow of the fight has made him one of the most exciting talents to watch in African boxing. Segbedzi’s three-title haul solidifies his position as a dominant force in the region.
