The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ashaiman, Ernest Henry Norgbey, has urged the youth of the area to emulate boxer, Sampson Segbedzi, and said he should also be an inspiration not just in sports, but also in every field of endeavour.

Segbedzi, who previously held the Universal Boxing Organisation (UBO) Africa welterweight title, last week defeated Isaac Commey at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra to add the Ghana national welterweight belt, as well as the Pugilistic Syndicate of Tanzania (PST) title to his collection.

Defeated boxer, Isaac Commey and his team have petitioned the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) to nullify the decision to disqualify Commey and declare Sampson Segbedzi winner during their national welterweight fight last week Sunday.

The 34-year-old Commey started the fight well and appeared to be on top in the opening two rounds but Segbedzi, 26, turned the tables by dominating the third round before scoring a knockdown in the 4th to establish control. 

In the fifth round, a flagging Commey, who already had twice been accused of low blows by his opponent, did the unthinkable by headbutting Segbedzi which was clearly seen by almost everybody present at the Bukom Boxing Arena in the early hours of last Monday.
