In the heartland of America, a young Ghanaian boxer has been making waves in the world of boxing. Joseph Awinongya Jr., known affectionately as “Jojo,” has been crowned the number one juvenile boxer in the United States, and his impressive accolades are enough to make even the most seasoned veterans take notice.
After recently emerging victorious in the USA Eastern Boxing qualifiers, Jojo’s star power has only continued to rise.
With 18 national championships to his name, including impressive belts and medals from the International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Council, the 15-year-old phenom is already a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world.
