In a double-header bout, Swedru native Richard Fenyi shocked Victor Kuwornu to win the national lightweight title on a unanimous points (117-112, 116-112, 113-116) decision.
In an interview Fenyi’s trainer, Charles Quartey, attributed their success to their commitment to training, saying, his boxer had much to offer in his division.
“I am very happy for him, especially his commitment to be an outstanding boxer in future,” Quartey told the Daily Graphic.
“He has a lot to offer in the lightweight division, and I want boxers in the division to look out for him.”
Last Saturday’s Fight Night again recorded a massive turnout as fans were treated a night of entertaining bouts which have become associated with the league since its maiden night on February 19 this year.
Among dignitaries at last Saturday’s event were the former Minister of Youth and Sports, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuije, Isaac Tetteh, CEO of TT Brothers Limited; lightweight boxer Emmanuel Tagoe (Game Boy) and representatives of sponsors DE-Luxy Paints, TCL, TECNO, Maxbuy and Premium Motors agents of Renault Cars in Ghana.
Apart from the fights, boxer tuned musician Bukom Banku and Fatozia thrilled the spectators with some local songs in between fights.
