style=\"clear:right\">Defeated boxing champion, Bukom Banku has called on Ghanaians to give him a break as according to him he is not the first person to have been defeated in a contest.<\/p>\n<p>Bastie Samir stopped Bukom Banku in round 7 of their scheduled 12 round non-title bout in front of a huge crowd at the Bukom Boxing Arena on Saturday night.<\/p>\n<p>It was the first defeat, a humiliating one at that, in the career of the popular fighter, who is a former WBO Africa Cruiserweight champion.<\/p>\n<p>Bukom Banku struggled to find his feet during most parts of the bout.<\/p>\n<p>Born Braimah Kamoko, the boxer, who had promised to knock out the Bastie in the 6th round, was no match for him.<\/p>\n<p>And Ghanaians have since taken to social media to mock the man who has professed support for former President John Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party.<\/p>\n<p>The former President have also issued a statement consoling him over the bitter defeat.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on Accra-based Kasapa FM on Monday, the Boxer called on Ghanaians to give him a break as according to him, he is not the first person to taste defeat in a major contest.<\/p>\n<p>He referred Ghanaians to how the former President tasted similar defeat in the 2016 elections and claimed that is his consolation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am killing my ear drum, I am killing my heart, if somebody is talking something that I am losing the fight, I don\u2019t care, even John Mahama lost the elections\u2026,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>To him claims that he did not adequately prepare for the fight is neither here nor there as according to him, he prepared for the match in five months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI took five months to prepare for the fight, if somebody is talking I losing the fight, I don\u2019t care\u2026,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
