Get ready for a historic night in African boxing! On Friday, June 13, 2025, Legacy Promotions and AK Promotions, in partnership with boxing legend Amir Khan, are bringing world-class action to Ghana with an electrifying fight night that promises fireworks, future world champions, and raw local pride, all broadcast live  on DAZN.

This is more than just a boxing event — it’s a game-changing moment for African boxing, as the continent plays host to some of the sport’s biggest names. Andrew Tabiti faces Jacob Dickson in an explosive cruiserweight showdown, while the long-awaited return of Ohara Davies will ignite fans across the world.

Main Event: Tabiti vs. Dickson — A Cruiserweight Clash

Andrew Tabiti (21-2, 17 KOs) brings his explosive power and smooth style to Ghana, where he’ll face off against Jacob Dickson (14-1, 13 KOs), one of the brightest rising stars in African boxing. Tabiti, a former world title challenger, is eager to reignite his journey toward global contention. Meanwhile, the homegrown Dickson is hungry to defend his turf and prove he’s ready for the world stage. This 8-round clash will be a must-watch as both fighters go all in for the win.

Ohara Davies Returns — One Last Shot at Glory

In the co-main event, Ohara “Two Tanks” Davies (25-4, 18 KOs) steps out of retirement for a bucket list comeback against Tanzania’s Mohammed Aliseni (22-9-3, 13 KOs). Known for his knockout power and outspoken personality, Davies has long been one of Britain’s most enigmatic figures. Now, he’s back to show the world that he still has what it takes to make another run at the top.
