Freezy Macbones hints at rematch against Senegal’s Seydou Konate

Freezy Macbones has hinted at a rematch against Seydou Konate after losing to the Senegalese boxer in a 2024 Olympic Games qualifier some months ago.

The 33-year-old was one of the 12 boxers who represented Ghana but could not secure a ticket to the Olympics after they were all eliminated.

Freezy Macbones suffered an early exit when he was beaten by Konate in a middleweight (80kg) Round of 32 clash.

In a recent interview, the Ghanaian boxer said he felt cheated by the results scored by the judges during his defeat to the Senegalese.

And he has now made a social media post hinting at a possible rematch against Konate, this time in Accra.

“Let’s run it back @macbonespromotions, Ghana-Accra. Freezy vs Konate. Ghana vs Senegal. Ain’t easy being freezy, Freezy Macbones wrote on X (Twitter).

Meanwhile, the UK-based boxer also previously said dropping from professional boxing to compete at amateur level hindered him from fully expressing his talent.\

He noted that the rules of amateur boxing limited him, unlike professional boxing where he can go all out without any hindrance.

“There is a lot whole change moving from pro boxer back to amateur boxer,” he told Code Mickey in an interview.

“In a pro fight, nobody cares what you’re going to do. You can slip or even do your dance. But amateur is different and there are so many rules to follow.

“Believe me or not, I won the fight. I won the first round and second round. In the third round, guess what happened? They took a point from me because I used the pro-style,” he added.
