After 12 gruelling rounds of punches, both boxers displayed remarkable toughness, making it difficult to determine the winner.
The judges ultimately declared a split decision victory for Emmanuel Quartey, as two out of the three the judges were in favour on points.
However, Ghana Boxing Authority President Abraham Kotei Neequaye, during a Max TV broadcast on Monday, October 9, single-handedly reversed Quartey's win and announced Jerry Lartey as the winner of the bout.
This decision did not sit well with Emmanuel Quartey's family, who took drastic action by storming the Bronx Boxing Gym during a press conference.
The family performed libations and invoked curses on GBA President Abraham Neequaye for allegedly altering the fight's verdict.
