Major and Latest Boxing news in Ghana

Four Ghanaian boxers have been given World Boxing Union (WBU) title bouts in the United Kingdom (UK).

The bouts, arranged by King Fisher Match Maker Promotions, will be held at the Bournemouth International Centre, UK.

According to the promoter, Prince Tuffour, Michael Barnor will lead the pack of the four boxers with an attempt at the WBU Super Bantamweight title against Jamie Speight, with Ibrahim Labaran taking on Gareth Hogg for the WBU Light Heavyweight title.

Also seeking for glory in the WBU division is Philip Kotey, who will fight Scot Dixon for the WBU Super Middleweight title, while Emmanuel Clottey battles Ryan Barret for the WBU Welterweight title.

Michael Ansah will, however, take on Lain Weaver in a 10-round super featherweight contest.

Tuffour described the five bouts as a “Ghana vrs UK” affair and expressed the hope that the Ghanaians would live up to expectation.

He said the fight would open several opportunities for boxers.
