SunSport can reveal why Essuman is wearing a mask to the ring.
Why does Ekow Essuman wear a mask to the ring?
Ekow Essuman’s mask is a part of his ring-walk, and he can be seen wearing it ahead of his clash with Jack Catterall.
The mask is simply a personal choice for style, rather than an injury.
He was also seen wearing the mask during a clash in May 2025 against Josh Taylor.
It has become part of his personal branding and is a good expression of his showmanship.
He uses the mask as one final attempt at intimidation over his opponents, who tonight is Jack Catterall.
