TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Patrick MARKEY
Professional boxer Prince Larbi (L), also known as Prince The Buzz Larbi, trains with kickboxer and boxing trainer Stephen Bruce (R) at Will Power Boxing Gym in the Jamestown neighbourhood of Accra on December 10, 2024. A network of gyms is teaching the noble art of boxing in just one small Accra district that has become known internationally as a mecca for the sport. More than a dozen small gyms are scattered throughout the winding sidestreets of the hardscrabble Jamestown district and its Bukom neighbourhood near the city's Atlantic Ocean fishing port.
Jamestown has already produced its share of champions, whose fading posters now adorn club walls, including Azumah "The Professor" Nelson, who many considered the greatest African boxer. (Photo by OLYMPIA DE MAISMONT / AFP)
