Ekufu’s achievements include being a two-time kickboxing world champion, three-time Mix Martial Arts (MMA) world champion, 25 times kickboxing champion, a five-time national boxing champion, African Wushu champion and two-time Muay Thai national champion.

She has the honour of being the most decorated African women fighter of all time.

Speaking on the championship, KBFN President, Mr. Wilson Okon, praised Ekufu for giving back to society by sponsoring the championship.

With August 15 set aside as the arrival date, the Diamond Superstars Championship will start with a seminar on August 16 and 17, while the championship proper will hold from August 18 to 20.
