Baba Rahman has today joined Schalke on loan until the end of the 2018/19 season.

The Ghanaian defender, 23, re-joins the Bundesliga side, where he spent the first half of last season before sustaining a knee injury during the Africa Cup of Nations.

Nathan, who signed for Chelsea from Atletico Paranaense in 2015, spent last season with Vitesse Arnhem and helped the team win the Dutch Cup, their first major trophy.

I’ve been diagnosed of Cardiomegaly – Psalm Adjetefio

Veteran actor, Psalm Adjetefio, popularly known as TT of Taxi Driver series fame is currently battling enlarged heart complications. The actor said, he was told by his physician that the lower chamber of his heart is unable to pump the blood fully so had to undergo a surgery to correct the defect. Speaking on the Delay show, TT, further disclosed that apart from his heart problem, he was told about position shift in some of his organs. “According to my doctors, I have a large heart and they said the lower chamber of my heart is unable to pump the blood fully so after pumping the blood, some blood is left in the chamber. That is why my feet has swollen. Apart from my heart, I have to undergo some surgery to correct certain things in my body. They said some of the organs have shifted position.” According to the ‘James Town Fisherman’ actor, he is still active with his acting career since he has bills to settle with regards to his surgery and house rent. “Currently I still act to survive though I’m battling serious health issues. I have bills to pay so I can’t quit acting. I’m now perching with a friend at East Legon but we will be leaving to a different place soon. We’ve had a new place to rent at Dodowa area but had to pay GHc10,000. Though I’m still not well yet I have to act to get money to pay for the rent.” TT added. When asked about how he was featured in the popular Taxi Driver series, the actor revealed that he was spotted on the set of Ultimate Paradise and given the opportunity to star in the popular television series. He later stopped teaching as he got more roles in other movies. “I made GHS 10 cedis, per episode” he remarked, when asked how much he earned on set. TT admitted that although the GHS10 was not enough for him since he was married, he was doing other things to keep his family going. According to him when the TV series ended, he said the negative impact was not so huge since he had gotten links with other people in the movie fraternity. This earned him roles in movies and series which helped cater for his family. The actor is currently requesting the general public to lend a helping hand to support his surgery and rent.

“Roger Barnor was right to stop Tagoe vs Saucedo bout”- IBO Supervisor

“Roger Barnor was right to stop Tagoe vs Saucedo bout”- IBO Supervisor

International Boxing Organisation supervisor, Andile Matika, has endorsed the decision of referee Roger Barnor to stop the bout between Emmanuel “Game Boy” Tagoe and Fernando Saucedo in the 10th round and award Tagoe a technical knockout victory. The decision did not sit well with the camp of Saucedo who felt that their boxer was being fought unfairly by Tagoe. Saucedo himself was seen to complain several times to referee Barnor about being hit in the back of the head which was against the rules stated by their sanctioning body before the bout. However, Matika said to Citi Sports in an exclusive interview that Saucedo himself had not respected many of the rules and Barnor had the right to end the bout. “In fact, the referee was spot on. He was right in taking that decision. Boxing is fought with rules and regulations but Saucedo had gone against many of the rules. He spat his gum shield out several times, his camp was shouting, the boxer shoved the referee and talked back at the referee and all that were against the rules. The referee was fair and he could have stopped the bout even earlier.” Matika went on to say that Saucedo’s camp did not reach out to him and the IBO to challenge the decision because they knew that referee Barnot was without fault on the night. “The camp of the challenger did not make any formal protest to me and to be honest, they know that they were wrong. I can give assurances that they will not make any protests because they know that they did not go with the rules.”

Martin Antwi joins Egyptian side Masr FC

The youngster has completed a switch to the Egyptian lower division side after refusing to sign a contract extension

Inter Allies midfielder Martin Antwi has successfully secured a two-and-half-year move to Egyptian lower tier side side Masr FC as a free agent.

The 23-year-old joined Alllies from Wafa last season in a short term deal and has opted to move outside the country this time around after helping the Accra-based club to avoid relegation in the previous campaign.

However, he is the fifth Ghanaian to arrive in Egypt in the January transfer window after Augustine Okrah, Samuel Sarfo and Malik Akowuah joined Smouha SC while Hearts of Oak former captain Thomas Abbey joined Ismaily SC.

Five things we learned from Tagoe-Saucedo’s fight

Five things we learned from Tagoe-Saucedo’s fight

 

Following a massive hype for the IBO Lightweight World championship bout between Ghana’s Emmanuel ‘Game Boy’ Tagoe and Argentine Fernando David Saucedo, the former extended his unbeaten run to 28 after stopping the South American by the tenth round at the Bukom Boxing Arena on Saturday.

Here are the five things AshesGyamera.com learned from the fight:

Tagoe is not a finished product

The face of Baby Jet Promotion’s popular appeal appears to have bounds If many earlier thought otherwise. Tagoe doesn’t look convincing enough currently, as he wants Ghanaians to believe in his hunt to claim a world title.

He must also start facing other highly-rated boxers out of his comfort zone (Ghana) not Tanzania’s Allan Kamote and the likes in order to build up a proper stamina and heavy punches which can send opponents out of any bout prematurely.

Ghanaians don’t expect such ‘mediocre’ fights again

Ghanaians will never forgive Asamoah Gyan’s Baby Jet Promotion if they continue to arrange such a mediocre of a bout in the future.
Not to mince words, majority of the people who opted not to retire to their beds, including this writer, were highly disappointed with the opponent selected and the bout the two boxers sold.
There was no determination or whatsoever from both boxers and Tagoe even showed glimpses that he is rusty, after more than a year without a fight.
Also, everything pointed to the fact that Suendo came for the payday as he is gradually fading out of the system.

There were also too many antics from Tagoe and that brought back memories of former Bantamweight boxer Abraham Kweku Jafar, popularly known as Adanko deka, who despite his potentials, couldn’t reach the height Ghanaians expected because he chose comedy within the ring than finishing off an opponent at a crucial moment.
Tagoe is lucky to have a rich promoter like Gyan who also has the connections to push him up so he should make a hay now…

Banor can be a worse referee than Fifa’s enemy Joseph Lamptey

Referee Roger Banor was one of the main reasons why the bout flopped. Many Ghanaian boxers, including the legendary Azumah Nelson, have complained in the past about poor officiating when they crossed the boarders of Ghana.

However, they will agree with this writer that, they have not seen a worse officiating like what Banor displayed at the Bukom Arena on Saturday in the last decade. Banor’s sense of judgment was poor and irritating, to say the least. Although, Saucedo was found of complaining, one must critically analyse reasons behind his actions.

Tagoe, on several occasions, hit the occiput of his opponent and even wrestled him to the canvas twice and should have been warned from the onset as well as ducked a point on the second occasion.

He even invaded the bench of Saucedo during one of the breaks to warn him which was unprofessional.
How Banor even ended the bout in the tenth round was shocking than Joseph Lamptey’s tactics to help football teams and betting syndicates to win games which landed him a lifetime ban from Fifa. Everyone within the arena were stunned and that completed the joke of the night.

Accra loves boxing
Thousands of fans – including celebrities like Azumah Nelson, Shatta Wale, Randy Abbey made time of their busy schedule to catch a glimpse of the bout which had a fair hype.

Although, the bout was as boring as watching an Indian movie without a subtitle, they still sat down throughout the ten rounds with some vociferous ones singing and dancing to throw away some of their sorrows in life. Some could’ve left the hall before referee Banor disgraced himself, especially, looking at how the first three rounds went.

Gyan must invest in other boxers

Following the performance by Tagoe, Asamoah Gyan must invest more in other amateur boxers around who have the potentials to make Ghana loud and proud. He should not solely concentrate on Tagoe because that can be suicidal since his ‘meter may be met’ very soon looking at his current performance.

After providing everything for Tagoe, Gyan must create competition for him by bringing in other good boxers to compete for his attention and support. Tagoe feels satisfied and probably believes he has arrived.

When there are other equally good boxers under the same umbrella making it big like Tagoe, he will be hungrier for more successes and move out of his shells. He needs to improve in all aspects of his fights to realise his dreams else, he can be rushed to the top but will not survive.

Ghana qualify to 2018 U-20 Women’s World Cup

Ghana’s female U20 national team thrashed Cameroon 3-0 in the second leg of the last qualifying round at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Saturday to book their place in the 2018 Fifa U-20 Women’s World Cup holding in France with a 4-1 aggregate scoreline.

After sharing spoils 1-1 in Yaounde a forthnight ago, two goals from Ernestina Abambila and Princella Adubea in the first-half and another strike from Sandra Owusu Ansah after the break, were enough to give Black Princesses their fourth straight appearances at the World Cup.

After a nervous start to the game where Cameroon were relying on quick counter to score the first goal, Ernestina Abambila capitalised on a defensive blunder by the visitors to put Ghana in front by the 15th minute mark.

The Black Princesses could’ve been up another goal two minutes later but Abambila saw her last ditch effort saved by Cameroon goalkeeper. However, Ghana found a breach in Cameroon’s defence by the 21st minute after
Princella Adubea latched on to a pass and fired past the goalkeeper.

After the break, Ghana were wasteful upfront as Adubea and Abambila fluffed several half chances.

On 75th minute, Sandra Owusu’s brilliance saw her netting the third goal of the day to dump any effort of resurgence from Cameroon.

Aside Ghana, Nigeria have also qualified and the official draw for the tournament will be held on March 8 at the Rennes Opera House in Rennes to determine which groups they will find themselves.
