Published on

Ghanaian businessman and philanthropist Ibrahim Mahama has honored boxing legend Azumah Nelson with a brand-new Toyota Fortuner and a cash gift, recognizing the former world champion’s enduring impact on Ghanaian sports.

The presentation took place at Mahama’s residence, attended by British-Nigerian heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua and Sharaf Mahama, chief executive of Legacy Rise Sports. A video circulating on social media shows a visibly emotional Nelson standing beside the vehicle as Sharaf Mahama hands him an envelope containing the undisclosed monetary gift.

Nelson, widely celebrated as one of Africa’s most accomplished boxers, earned the nickname “The Professor” over a storied career that included multiple world titles and international acclaim.

The gesture underscores Mahama’s growing reputation as a patron of Ghanaian sports and a vocal advocate for honoring national icons during their lifetimes—an increasingly rare practice in a region where recognition often comes posthumously.
