Isaac Commey, representing Ghana was too strong and skilful for UK born Theophilus Nelson in their Elimination Contest which took place at the RLG Hathiramani Sports Hall of the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday night.

“I have won many medals, now I need a title belt. I want to be a world champion; I thank my coaches for this win, as well as Urban Sports Champions and members of Pro Fight Factory who have supported me, especially Lawrence Nyanyo Nmai and my mother. I also thank the media for exposing me as I am the next greatest champion to come from Ghana and my six coaches who have help me to improve technically and psychologically" Commey added.
