Put up or Shut up weigh-in: Allotey, Sou Toke in war of words
By Prince Dornu-Leiku
Fireworks and an all action thriller is promised fight fans Boxing Day tomorrow in the headliner of the 'Put up or Shut up' boxing promotion at the Lebanon House in Accra after the weigh-ins earlier today.
Ghanaian Patrick Allotey takes on Burkinabe namesake Sou Toke for the vacant WBC International silver welterweight belt, and both unbeaten boxers are vowing to go home with the title.
Sou Toke (14-0, 7 KOs) says he is unruffled by the expected massive home support for the Ghanaian and is urging the Burkina Faso community in Ghana and the Ambassador to troop to the Lebanon House for Monday's fight because he promises them a Christmas gift via victory over Allotey.
But Allotey is adamant he will emerge victorious in his forward match to world title glory. "No way I'm losing this fight especially in front of my home fans. I urge all my fans in Chorkor and the whole Ghana to come in their numbers because I'm winning this title for us all," Allotey (19-0, 15 KOs) said. 51 year old McIntosh makes a return into the ring for the first time in nearly three years insisting that he will still realise the childhood dream to be a boxing world champion.
