Accra, Jan. 28, GNA –
16-year old Armwrestler Mariam Kadri Moro was the toast of fans by delivering
on her promise as she annihilated and dethroned her mentor and undefeated
police woman Alberta Ampomah Boatemaa to become the new Queen of Armwrestlering
in Ghana.
Yasmin who was the
underdog enjoyed massive support from Bukom with clear intentions to beat her
bully and confirmed it was time for to reign.
Both Yasmin and then
undefeated Alberta recorded fouls each soon as they mounted the table at the
call of referee Husseini Akueteh Addy.
At the referee’s
grip, Yasmin aka Hajia Vampire took the battle to the former champion with
power and style to win the left arm battle.
Ampomah had the
chance to come back into the battle but determined Yasmin was so focused to be
outwitted by the champion. The later in less than two minutes pulled harder
pinning Alberta to the pad to win the second battle to record a two straight
wins to beat the undefeated champion to the admiration of her fans and patrons.
Defeated Alberta in
a post battle interview insisted being the best and thus throws a challenge to
the new champions for a rematch.
The men’s
heavyweight battle was rescheduled for a
later date as the undefeated Derrick Kwakye aka Asoka GH could not come back to
the table to face Antwi Boasiako aka Punisher after defeating Lebanese Ghanaian
Fawzi Saoud in the right arm battle.
Derrick Kwakye had
in a grand style defeated all contestants in the left arm battles and was just
on the verge of being crowned when his corner called he couldn’t continue.
The Ghana
Armwrestling Federation will at a later date stage the finals of the men’s
heavyweight battle.
