Just a few months after recruiting Braimah Kamoko, alias Bukom Banku, Super Entertainment Boxing Promotions (SEBP), has secured the signature of another Bukom great, Joshua Okine, to its stable.

The financial details of the contract were not disclosed but the three-year deal will see SEBP manage and promote bouts on behalf of the hard-hitting Okine. 

Okine, nicknamed Bukom Tsatsu, has a fight record of 28 wins (17KOs), 4 losses and a draw.

The 34-year-old welterweight southpaw once held the World Boxing Federation (WBF), International Boxing Federation (IBF) and Inter-Continental and Commonwealth welterweight titles.

SEBP is currently promoting a bout between Bukom Banku and Russian pugilist, Rakhim Chakhkiyev (18-1, 14 KOs), slated for May 30 at the Luzhniki Arena in Moscow, Russia.

Chakhkiyev won a heavyweight gold medal at the 2008 Olympics Games in Beijing, China.
