Bahubali had suffered internal bleeding after a bout with Jacob Dickson at the Bukom Boxing Arena on September 12, and was rushed to Lekma Hospital in Teshie, where he succumbed to his injuries 11 days later. His death is the second boxing-related tragedy in Ghana this year, following the death of Nigerian boxer Gabriel Aluwasegun, who collapsed in the ring at the same venue in April.
The National Sports Authority had suspended all boxing activities pending an investigation into Bahubali’s death, but the suspension has since been lifted.s death is the second boxing-related tragedy in Ghana this year, following the death of Nigerian boxer Gabriel Aluwasegun, who collapsed in the ring at the same venue in April.
