Osei Bonsu cries foul demands rematch

Abraham Osei Bonsu is adamant in his claim that he won last Saturday's national super featherweight title fight against Wahab Oluwaseum and is, therefore, demanding a rematch to set the record straight.

Despite deep cuts on both cheeks of Wahab, who hails from Nigeria, the Ghanaian lost a split decision, 115-114, 114-115, 112-116 in the headline bout of the third instalment of Azumah Nelson's VIP Fight Night at the Bukom Boxing Arena.

Referee Roger Barnor twice ruled a knockdown against Bonsu who blames the slippery canvas for his several downfalls during the fight, six in total. But the boxer, nicknamed 'No Shaking,' insists he did enough to win.

"I won the fight hands down. Even though the referee counted for me twice I believe I was the clear winner and my worst should have been a draw. Wahab did nothing but ran from me the whole time. There is no way I lost that fight and I'm very disappointed in the judges. I don't know what fight they were watching," Osei Bonsu said on GTV Sports Plus live show last Tuesday morning.

"I need a rematch to show everyone that Wahab is no where in my class, he can't beat me. I am the best super featherweight and even Wahab knows I beat him so he should give me a rematch if he is a true champion. I have started training again already and even if it's next week I'm ready to face and take him down," he added with poise.

Equally angry with the verdict and taking a few jabs at the great Azumah Nelson and promoters of the show is Abraham Reindorf, a.k.a Teddy Moore, who is the manager of Osei Bonsu.
