Ghanaian boxer Braimah Kamoko, famously known as Bukom Banku, has disclosed a surprising aspect of his family life, revealing that out of his 13 children, only 10 share his physical resemblance.
In a recent interview on 3FM, the colorful boxer provided insights into his personal life, shedding light on the dynamics of his extensive family.
Known for his vibrant personality and candid remarks, Bukom Banku discussed his role as a father and the trials of managing a large family.
He shared that while he is the father of 13 children, only 10 of them bear a resemblance to him, with Abu Kamoko, who has followed in his footsteps as a boxer, being the most similar in appearance.
“I have 13 children, with 10 of them resembling me, while the remaining three take after their mothers. Among them, Abu Kamoko resembles me the most,”
“Kwerh..fast game. My blood is thick so you have to born Banku Fresh,” Bukom Banku responded to a DNA test question.
Abu Kamoko clinched a silver medal in the 86kg cruiserweight category at the recent All-African Games after losing to Algerian boxer Kanouni Ousama in the final match. His achievement surpasses his father’s 25-year-old bronze medal win.
Following his son’s defeat in the final, Bukom Banku attributed Abu Kamoko’s performance to stage fright caused by the large crowd, affecting his performance in the ring.
“This is his first time in the game. He feared the crowd and was frightened, so he lost, but his opponent was a small match for him. I trained Abu Kamoko up until age 7,” he stated.
