UNSUNG.

“He who has a why to live can bear almost any how…”

The ilk of Azumah Nelson, Ike Quartey, Joshua Clottey and lately Isaac Dogbe will be readily mentioned when anyone on the streets of Accra is a asked about boxing. These are men who have over the years hoisted high the flag of Ghana in an impressive show of gracefulness and strength in the ring fighting to retain or claim one world title or the other. However, there are many others who may not readily be mentioned.  

One such Ghanaian sportsman stirring the waves in boxing is Richard Nii Lartey Harrison . A quiet, unassuming young man otherwise known as “Chisaano” or "Son of the Eagle".A heavyweight division boxer with an impressive record of sixteen fights, fourteen wins by either a KO (Knock Out) or TKO ( Technical Knock Out) with two loses   .

Having battled it out at the amateur level with many wins, he lost his chance to be called into the national Olympic team-black bombers. Richard Harrison like many Ghanaian youth took to other opportunities to make a living but the nudge to be a fighter became so strong he couldn’t resist but drop all other things to fully concentrate on the sport.

Currently enjoying a quiet life, Richard Harrison Nii Lartey hopes to become a world wide boxing sensation as he currently holds the WBO HEAVYWEIGHT AFRICAN DIVISION CHAMPION.
