According to Ghanaian boxing star Azumah Nelson, the passing of his mother Comfort Atwei Quarcoo is a celebration of life.

In a statement made public on January 4, 2023, Azumah observed that his mother deserved some downtime after leading a fulfilling life.

“The Bible says in all things we should give thanks to God so we thank the almighty for this one too,” Azumah said.

“I spent time with her 3 days ago and could tell she was in pain so I know she is at peace now. After raising her children well and seeing her grandchildren, she has done very well and deserves some rest. This is a celebration of life.”

Madam Quarcoo passed away on January 2, 2023 at the age of 86 after a protracted illness.

Azumah requested that Ghanaians remember him and his family in their prayers and said that information regarding the funeral would soon be released.

Former professional boxer from Ghana named Azumah Nelson competed from 1979 to 2008. He held the WBC featherweight title from 1984 to 1987 and the WBC super-featherweight belt twice between 1988 and 1997, making him a two-weight world champion.

Additionally, he was a three-time world boxing champion, a 2004 inductee into the Boxing Hall of Fame, Africa’s greatest boxer, and the greatest superfeatherweight boxer in WBC history.

In August 2022, he was also admitted into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame.
