Adom Kyei-Duah, the General Overseer of the Believers Worship Center, has publicly expressed a strong desire to meet Joseph Sackey, the Ghanaian boxer who wore a sticker bearing the preacher’s image during a high-profile boxing match.
The event, dubbed “Battle of the Beats”, took place at the iconic Bukom Boxing Arena on June 14, 2025, and drew wide attention after Sackey lost his bout to Abdul Khan.

However, it wasn’t the loss that made headlines—it was Sackey’s blue boxing shorts, which prominently featured a sticker of the popular televangelist. The image has since gone viral across Ghanaian social media platforms.
📣 Adom Kyei-Duah’s Reaction
Addressing his congregation during a recent Sunday service, Adom Kyei-Duah said he was deeply moved by the gesture and announced plans to personally meet the boxer.
“I am pleading with you to inform him that I want to meet him, God willing, on Sunday. I need that boy. On Sunday, I will invite him to stand by me on the pulpit,” he told church members.
He clarified that his invitation to Joseph Sackey was not about victory or defeat, but rather to affirm his calling and extend spiritual support to the boxer.
“The reason why I am inviting him is that I want people to know that I have been called by God. I don’t know him, but after seeing his video, I fell in love with him,” he said.
📲 Mixed Reactions Online
The incident has sparked widespread conversation online. While some Ghanaians praised the preacher’s heartfelt response as a gesture of love and humility, others have questioned whether the move is intended to gain public sympathy or boost his ministry’s image.
“Regardless of the motives, it’s rare to see a high-profile spiritual leader take such a personal interest in someone they’ve never met—especially after a public defeat,” commented one Twitter user.
🥊 The Boxer Behind the Sticker
Joseph Sackey, although lesser-known on Ghana’s professional boxing scene, has now gained nationwide attention. His choice to represent the image of a religious leader on his gear reflects the strong intersection of faith and sports in Ghana.
Ghana has a long-standing tradition of blending spiritual beliefs with sports performance, a trend that continues to be evident in events like the “Battle of the Beats” and others supported by the Ghana Boxing Authority.
🛐 Faith and Public Influence
The story underscores the influence of religious figures in Ghanaian popular culture, especially in moments of both triumph and defeat. Adom Kyei-Duah, known for his charismatic sermons and prophecies, continues to dominate both spiritual and social conversations in the country.
As the preacher prepares to host the boxer at his Believers Worship Center, all eyes will be on what message he delivers—and what this encounter means for both man and ministry.
