BabyJet Promotions set for Ashie’s media workout

History making BabyJet

Promotions are set to rewrite the record books in Ghanaian boxing when this week

they hold a media work-out for the two boxers headlining their ‘Clash of the

Kings’ bill.

The maiden promotion by the

syndicate headed by newly appointed Ghana national football skipper, Asamoah

Gyan is scheduled for the Accra Sports Stadium on November 10 but BabyJet

Promotions have released an itinerary of unprecedented events leading up to

fight night.

They have already held media

briefings to announce the fight and later the formal signing of fight contract

by the boxers. The final countdown to the fight between George Ashie and

Emmanuel Tagoe was also launched at a press conference last week amid revelation

of a comprehensive line-up of activities to herald the dawn of a new era in

Ghanaian boxing promotions.

Among a host of new

initiatives introduced by BabyJet Promotions is the media workout for both boxers

and a further meet-the-fans and autograph signing sessions by the pugilists at

the Accra Mall and elsewhere.

Foremost to make history and

become the first boxer in Ghanaian history to have his pre-fight gym workout

session with media presence is George Ashie AKA Red Tiger at the Seconds Out

gymnasium in the heart of Accra, off Baiden Powell Hall on Wednesday at 3pm GMT

before Tagoe AKA Game Boy takes his turn on Friday at the same venue.

Media work involves rope

skipping, push-ups, punching of bag, punch of mitts and physical exercise

before granting the media interview on preparations towards the fight. In

essence, Ashie would have a light training session and later grant interview to

the media.

Reigning Commonwealth Junior Lightweight champ, Ashie (23-3,

16 KOs), squares up to former WBO Africa and IBF Intercontinental Junior

Lightweight titlist Tagoe, 19-1, 8 KOs, for the WBA International Lightweight

belt on November 10.

BabyJet Promotions President, Gyan who plays in the United

Arab Emirates for that country’s top league champions Al Ain, has promised to

be present for the big fight himself with many of his football and musician colleagues

also expected to be in tow to entertain and thrill away what could arguably be

the grandest boxing promotion ever staged in the history of this country.
