Ghana’s rich boxing heritage is set to take centre stage this August as Bishop Boxing Promotions and Xecute Team Limited join forces to deliver Bukom Fest 2026 — a landmark two-day boxing festival that aims to etch its name in the record books.

Scheduled for August 28–29, 2026, at GHUD Park, Accra Mall, the event will combine high-stakes professional boxing with live entertainment and large-scale production, while attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the most professional boxing bouts during a boxing festival.

The partnership between Bishop Boxing Promotions and Xecute Team Limited marks a significant milestone for Ghanaian sports entertainment, merging world-class fight curation with cutting-edge event production.

A Celebration of Boxing Culture

Bukom — renowned as the heartbeat of Ghanaian boxing — has produced some of Africa's most celebrated fighters, including multiple world champions. This festival aims to honour that legacy while building a sustainable platform for the next generation of talent.

"We are building Bukom Fest to spotlight Ghanaian fighters and bring world-class production to our sport," said Dr. Dave Bishop, President of Bishop Boxing Promotions. "Partnering with Xecute ensures that fans, athletes, and partners experience an event that matches the talent on the card."

Star-Studded Fight Lineup Confirmed

Organisers have confirmed an impressive slate of matchups featuring some of Ghana's most exciting boxing talents. The finalised card includes:

· Wasiru Mohammed vs. Charles Tetteh · Haruna Mohammed vs. Obodai Sai · Majid Yakubu vs. Ghslain Uodounessi · Emmanuel Mawuli vs. Moses Adjei Selui · Kofi Dana vs. Musah Lawson · Africanus Neequaye vs. Sunday Adeleye · Abraham Mensah vs. Ezekiel Annan · George Mensah vs. Jessie Lartey · Ernest Ampah vs. Daniel Quaye

Additional pairings are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, with organisers promising more high-calibre matchups to round out the card. The total number of bouts already exceeds the threshold required for the Guinness World Record attempt, ensuring the festival is on track to make history.

A Game-Changing Partnership

The collaboration brings together two formidable forces in Ghana's events landscape. Bishop Boxing Promotions — known for developing and showcasing Ghanaian and West African boxing talent — will curate competitive matchups and manage athlete programming. Xecute Team Limited — a leading event production and logistics firm — will handle production, logistics, ticketing, and the festival's large-scale presentation.

"We're bringing our full production capabilities to Bukom Fest," said representatives from Xecute Team Limited. "From infrastructure to our Xecute Pass digital ticketing platform, we're committed to delivering a professional experience that rivals international boxing events."

Beyond the Ring

The Guinness World Record attempt adds an international dimension to the festival, designed to attract global media attention, sponsors, and broadcast partners. Organisers envision Bukom Fest as an annual international showcase that puts Ghana firmly on the global boxing calendar.

The festival format also includes live performances, creating a carnival-like atmosphere that organisers hope will appeal to both die-hard boxing fans and casual attendees seeking a unique entertainment experience.

Looking Ahead

With ticket sales and broadcast partners yet to be announced, anticipation is already building for what promises to be a historic moment for Ghanaian boxing. The event represents a significant investment in the sport's infrastructure and profile, with potential long-term benefits for fighters, promoters, and the broader sports ecosystem.
