Major and Latest Boxing news in Ghana

African lightweight champion, Emmanuel ‘Gameboy’ Tagoe, is expected to leave the country for the United States ahead of his much touted world title bout against a yet-to-be-named opponent in September.

This follows his victory against Carlo Magali of the Phillipines in their 12-round lightweight contest in Accra last Friday night.

Managers of the boxer, BabyJet Promotions, believe the Bukum rising star is now set for the world title.

A close associate of BabyJet Promotions, Alex Ntiamoah Boakye, told the Graphic Sports in an interview that Gamboy had a brighter chance of annexing the world title.

Tagoe, who has 29 fights without a loss, including 15 knockouts, technically knocked out the Filipino  (Magali) in the bout.
