Professional career

Konadu made his professional debut on May 5, 1985. In his 15th professional bout, he defeated former champion Cesar Polanco to capture the WBC International super flyweight *le.

WBC Super Flyweight *le

On November 7, 1989, Konadu captured the WBC and Lineal Super Flyweight *le with a decision win over two-time champion Gilberto Roman. He lost the belt in his first defense to Sung Kil Moon by technical decision. The fight was a war with both fighters exchanging knockdowns, however, the action was stopped in the ninth round due to a headbutt and Moon was declared the winner on the scorecards. He lost a rematch to Moon in 1991 by knockout.

WBA Bantamweight *le

Konadu scored 15 consecutive victories over the next four years, including wins over Juan Polo Perez, former champion Victor Rab*es, and Abraham Torres. On January 28, 1996, he became a two division champion by capturing the WBA Bantamweight *le in a TKO victory over Veeraphol Sahaprom, who would go on to become a long reigning champion. He again lost the belt in his first defense to Daorung Chuvatana by technical decision, but recaptured the belt the following year in a rematch. He defended the belt once before losing it to Johnny Tapia in 1998. He rebounded with a win over former champion Hector Acero Sanchez and retired in 2001 after being TKO'd by Daniel Seda. He now lives with his family in New Dormaa, Sunyani, Ghana.
