Richard Commey would get an opportunity to face Easter Jr. if he defeats Luna
Ghana's Richard Commey has fired a salvo ahead of his highly anticipated IBF World lightweight fight against America’s Alejandro Luna.
Richard Commey (25-2, 22 KOs) is brimming with confidence he is going to defeat Alejandro Luna (22-0, 15 Kos) on March 10th in Texas, USA.
Commey will be facing Luna in an IBF World lightweight eliminator and the clash will be his second pro fight in the USA.
Luna comes into the fight with an unblemished record since turning professional in 2010.
The winner will fight IBF World lightweight belt holder Robert Easter Jr.
But Commey who lost to Easter Jr. in 2016, is confident he will clear Luna cannot stand in his way.
“Luna is undefeated and he has 15 KOs, he is the kind of guy who likes to come forward but he has never faced a guy like myself,” Commey said in an interview with Last Call Radio Show in the USA.
“It is going to be a good fight, for me, I just want to fight because I want to fight Robert Easter again and what I have to do I must do it to fight Robert Easter again.
"Luna has never faced a guy like me so once we get in there he will see who Richard Commey is.”
In September 2016, Commey fought Easter for the IBF World lightweight belt but he lost via disputed split decision.
He fought Denis Shafikov four months later in an IBF World lightweight eliminator, again he lost courtesy a controversial split decision.
