Two
more world titles in the offing for Ghanaian boxers –
GBA boss
Accra, March 28, Ghanadot/GNA – Mr Moses Foh-Amoaning,
Chairman of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) has predicted
that two Ghanaian boxers would win world titles before the
close of the year.
Speaking to the GNA Sports in Accra, Mr Foh- Amoaning said
the two titles would come from Raymond Narh and Joshua
Clottey, both of whom are highly rated by the International
Boxing Federation (IBF) and are in strong contention for
world titles.
Narh is rated 13 and is scheduled to fight number three
contender Zahir Raheem of the United States of America (USA)
in April in the final eliminator for the IBF Lightweight
title.
Clottey on the other hand is the IBF number one contender
and has been waiting to take on champion Kermint Cintron of
the USA for the Welterweight title.
According to Foh-Amoaning, both boxers have demonstrated
over the years that they have qualities of world champions
and are capable of annexing the titles in the near future.
He said “Clottey and Narh have been waiting for the
opportunity to write their names in the boxing Hall of Fame
and would not let the opportunity slip through their
fingers.”
Mr Foh-Amoaning added that, “the two boxers are in perfect
condition for the challenges ahead and look set to give the
nation two more world titles”.
“Realizing these dreams would definitely represent golden
moments for the nation and bring to fruition years of toil
by the two boxers.” He stated.
The GBA Chairman said his outfit would marshal the needed
support for the two boxers to enable them to realize their
dreams.
Mr Foh-Amoaning expressed confidence that Joseph Agbeko
would also have a successful defence of his IBF Bantamweight
title.
Agbeko won the IBF Bantamweight title late last year and has
been preparing feverishly for the defence of the title
against William Gonzalez of Nicaragua later in April or
early May.
