Ibrahim Mahama Gifts Anthony Joshua High-Performance Motorbike During Ghana Visit

In a notable gesture, Ghanaian business magnate and philanthropist Ibrahim Mahama has presented a high-performance Honda CRF450R motorbike to British boxing sensation Anthony Joshua. The gift comes as Joshua concludes a visit to Ghana, where he participated in the “Battle of the Beasts” boxing event.

A video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) captures the moment the former unified world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, is seen engaging in conversation with Ibrahim Mahama, standing beside the striking red motocross bike. This particular model, a 2025 CRF450R, is a competition-grade machine specifically designed for racing on closed-course tracks and is valued at $9,699.

Anthony Joshua, a well-known enthusiast of motorbikes, arrived in Ghana last week for the “Battle of the Beasts” boxing event, which was spearheaded by Sharaf Mahama, son of President John Dramani Mahama, and held on Friday, June 13, 2025. Upon his arrival at Kotoka International Airport, Joshua wasted no time immersing himself in Ghana’s vibrant street culture. He notably embraced an impromptu motorbike ride with local bikers after spotting a sleek bike among the welcoming crowd, a moment that sent his fans into a frenzy.
