Kofi Jantuah – From
"sparring partner" to World Champion?
EasysideBoxing, November 8, 2007
Outside of the ring Kofi Jantuah (31-3-0) is a very polite
and almost shy guy. When he introduced himself to the
arena-team some weeks ago nobody would have thought that
this man had been Commonwealth Champion in 1999 and fought
for the World Championship twice, only losing both fights by
close decisions..
In Germany Kofi impressed the public with a very tough
battle against IBF Middleweight Champion Arthur Abraham on
May 13th 2006. Abraham just barely won the fight (115:112,
116:111, 117:109) and some spectators thought that it might
have had a different ending if the fight had not been on
German soil. In 2005, Las Vegas based Jantuah had tried to
capture the IBF Light Middleweight crown from Kassim Ouma
but lost in Atlantic city on points (112:116, 111:117,
110:118).
Now Kofi is heading for gold again supported by his new
promoter Ahmet Öner and arena Box-Promotion. Originally the
33-year-old came to Hamburg to do sparring with Mahir "Lion"
Oral and Randy Griffin. Now he is on his way to become a
main eventer for arena and fight for the world title again.
And his new promoter believes that Jantuah got what it takes
to go straight back to the top. Ahmet Öner: "Kofi is a great
boxer. I am convinced that he is capable of achieving great
things with and for arena."
On November 23th Kofi wants to prove that it was a good
decision to sign him when he gives his debut for arena in
San Sebastian (Spain) against local hero Ruben Diaz (12-1-1)
for the IBF Intercontinental Championship.
