Boxing fans celebrated reigning national super middleweight champion Jonathan “Worldwide” Tetteh's victory over Seth Gyimah, popularly known as Freezy Macbones, with some supporters even cashing in on their predictions.
The boxing event dubbed "The Showdown" and sponsored by the President's son, Sharaf Mahama of Legacy Sports, filled the University of Ghana Sports Stadium with excitement on Saturday, December 20, 2025.
One enthusiastic fan who identified as Worldwide Junior, said he was confident in Tetteh’s ability going into the bout and was rewarded for his belief.
“I won my bet on ‘Worldwide’ because he defeated Freezy,” the fan told The Independent Ghana shortly after the fight.
The highly anticipated clash between the two boxers was one of the most talked-about local bouts on the card and lived up to expectations, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.
Fans closely followed every round as both fighters displayed determination and grit in the ring.
Following the final decision in Tetteh’s favour, celebrations erupted among his supporters, many of whom praised his composure and performance. The result sparked conversations across the stadium, with fans debating the fight and sharing their reactions.
The bout formed part of The Showdown, a major boxing event that brought together local and international fighters, highlighting the growing interest in boxing in Ghana and the strong connection between fighters and their supporters.
Meanwhile, boxing enthusiast and manager of Med Sports TV, Mr Med, has praised Seth Gyimah, popularly known as Freezy Macbones and reigning national super middleweight champion Jonathan “Worldwide” Tetteh for what he described as an exceptional performance, saying both fighters exceeded his expectations.
Speaking to The Independent Ghana on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at the University Ghana Sports Stadium, Mr Med said some of the fights had not lived up to expectations, especially on the undercard, but noted that the main event had been so far so good.
"Freezy Macbones versus Jonathan “Worldwide” was the most talked-about local fight, and I think both of them performed beyond my expectations, per their backgrounds. I think they both performed beyond my expectations, especially Freezy. I was having doubts if Freezy could go all the rounds with Worldwide, per the experience of "Worldwide".
Freezy may have turned pro before "Worldwide", but Worldwide has a rich amateur background. He has fought at top international amateur tournaments, and he has sparred Freezy many times and he has had the best of Freezy, inspiring. In those sessions, Worldwide often had the better of Freezy. But today, I think Freezy has given a better account of himself than when they were sparring about a year or two ago," he expressed.
Mr Med also commended Sharaf Mahama, owner of Legacy Rise, for his efforts to revive boxing in Ghana, describing the initiative as one with strong social impact.
“When you look at what he is doing, what change is he bringing to boxing in Ghana? One thing people don’t know is that boxing is meant to take people off the streets, and by giving them opportunities, he is going to take a lot of people off the streets. We have had Ghanaian boxers who were once armed robbers, and boxing saved their lives,” he said.
He applauded boxers who have really put their lives on the line for "our entertainment and kudos to every boxer who stepped into the squared circle."
