Ghana based Nigerian female boxing sensation, Chiamaka Jill Whyte Nwaturuocha will take on Ghana-British fboxer Sedem Ama in a WBA Africa Super Welter weight title fight on December 20 at the Legon Sports Stadium, Accra, Ghana.
Chiamaka who relocated to Ghana in 2024 has an unblemished record of three knockout wins from same number of fights.
Similarly, Ama, a former two-time national amateur boxing champion is also undefeated since turning professional. She has won four out of four. She also has a background in PR.
Speaking ahead of the fight, Nwaturuocha whose ring name is Whyte Shepherd told Sports Vanguard that “Every time I fight,when I step into the ring, I show the work, discipline, and hunger I carry. My ambition is simple: To dominate my weight class and build a legacy that represents the strength coming out of West Africa.”
She assured her teeming fans, particularly those back home in Nigeria to expect nothing but victory. “I want to win it for them and make them happy this season.”
“Being Nigerian and now based in Ghana has opened my eyes to the heart and raw talent that fighters here possess. With better structure, opportunities, and visibility, I know boxing in both countries can rise to a global level and I am determined to be part of that growth.”
The Nigerian youngster said her move to Ghana has paid off as she has been exposed to new methods and skill by her new coach, “Prince Kame Davis, a Ghanaian-American whose guidance has shaped my mindset and my style in and out of the ring.”
She was also full of appreciation for Houssam Hamidi, the owner of FitTrip Gym, for providing a solid environment that keeps athletes like me focused, disciplined, and evolving.”
