Accra, Jan. 15, – International
Boxing Organisation (IBO) Lightweight champion, Emmanuel “Game Boy” Tagoe, has
said he is the current king of boxing in Ghana, because he is the only boxer
with a world title.
“Apart from being the only world
title holder in Ghana, I am also the only Ghanaian boxing champion with 11
title belts,” he stated.
Tagoe, who is managed and
promoted by Baby Jet Boxing Promotions, said he is the only boxer who predicts
the outcome of his bouts and knows exactly, which round to stop his opponent.
According to Tagoe, he is also
the best performer of the art, if boxing is a noble art of self defence adding
that, boxing is not for strong people, but smart people, that is why Pernel
Whitaker defeated Azumah Nelson.
I have the skills, stamina and
natural talent, so I did not go through the amateur ranks. I just jumped into
the game because I wanted to box,” he said.
Tagoe added that, he has always
fought the toughest opponents among Ghanaian boxers, but he makes them look
ordinary, so people think his opponents are not strong.
“I am promising Ghanaians another
great boxing night on January 27. I want
people who love real boxing to come and watch another display. I will give them
their money’s worth - quality boxing,” he stated.
Tickets for the bout between
Tagoe and Argentina’s David Fernando Saucedo have started selling at 300ghc for
VIP ringside, 200ghc for ringside and 20ghc for the popular stand.
Tagoe (27-1, 13 KOs) would step into the ring for the first time in over
a year, after injuries and other technical issues ensured he has not fought
since winning the title with a unanimous
points decision over South African Mzonke Fana in December 2016.
