Boxing legend Azumah Nelson has revealed that his son, Dalvin Azumah Nelson Jr, has decided to step away from the sport after exploring it in his earlier years.
In an interview with Dan Kwaku Yeboah TV, the renowned Hall of Famer shared that his son chose to pursue a different career path, indicating that professional boxing’s demands and dedication were not in alignment with his interests.
Meanwhile, Azumah Nelson expressed support for his son’s decision, emphasizing that he continues to fulfil his paternal responsibilities in his son’s chosen field.

Reflecting on his own boxing career, Azumah Nelson shared insights into his fighting strategies, highlighting his ability to maintain composure and avoid being provoked by opponents.
