  • Date: 2004-10-29
  • Location: Accra Sports Stadium, Accra, Ghana
  • Judge: 120-107
  • Commonwealth Bantamweight Title (Vacant title)
  • Weights: Agbeko 116 lbs, Badu 118 lbs

Part of Ghana's 50th celebration of its independence. Half way through the fight there was a clash of heads and Agbeko turned away and walked to his corner. The referee did not call for a time out but sent Badu to his own corner then went over to where Agbeko's team and Agbeko were having an argument. Agbeko was shaking his head and it was clear he did not want to continue. His corner and now also the referee were pleading with him to continue whilst Badu stood in his corner wondering what was happening. Eventually they convinced Agbeko he should continue-and the bell was rung immediately ending the round.
