Former Ghana and West Africa champion, Raymond Commey hopes to finally lay his hands on the WBA Pan Africa Super Bantamweight belt when the Ghanaian boxer faces compatriot, Michael Barnor in Accra next week Friday, May 22.
Commey nicknamed Chorkor Banku defeated Kenyan, Nick Otieno at the Accra Sports Stadium back on December 26 last year apparently for the same belt, but he never got the title due to some technical hitches which according to the WBA did not warrant the fight as sanctioned.
Commey has since fought and claimed another victory over Joe Cudjoe on February 27 but will now get the opportunity to wrestle Barnor for the WBA Pan Africa belt at the Will Power Boxing gym in James Town in the heart of the Ghanaian capital.
“This is a chance I can’t let slip by, it’s my title because I already beat a very tough boxer from Kenya to win but some problems beyond my control made it impossible for me to get the belt,” Commey said..
“But I thank God and my management for the good work to give me another chance and I promise I won’t let them down. I have prepared very well and can’t wait to get into the ring, I promise to win the title for my fans,” Chorkor Banku added.
Also fighting on a packed undercard at the Will Power Gym are other promising Ghanaian boxers including Prosper Ankrah, Isaac Sackey, Phillip Kotey and many more.
