GH BOSSLINK PROMOTIONS BRINGING BRITISH BOXER TO FIGHT IN GHANA

Fresh from bringing down Korean boxers to train and fight professionally

in Ghana, Gh Bosslink Promotions CEO, Collins-Bio Donkor has now also

struck a deal for British boxer, Adam Taylor to come and hone his skills

in this country.

Accordingly, Taylor, a super middleweight who has as a semi-pro fought

all over the world but never in Africa and who now has a professional

record of 2-1 and dreaming of a world title triumph, will arrive in

Accra next month to train for some few days before making his Africa

debut on the undercard of highly rated WBO Africa featherweight

champion, Isaac Dogboe’s unification fight against Filipino, Tabanao

in the Ghanaian capital on August 26.

Taylor is expected to stay beyond fight night to train under the

tutelage of experienced Ghanaian trainers on the invitation of the Gh

Bosslink Promotions chief whose aim to promote and uplift Ghanaian

boxing through international partnerships enters a new phase.

Mr. Bio-Donkor made history earlier this year when his outfit in

association with their Korean partners, brought two boxers from the

Asian country, welterweight Lee Kyu Suk and Jeon Byung Yun, a super

welterweight on a 6-month training tour to develop their talents at the

beginning of their professional careers. An initiative that was hailed

by the Ghana Minister of Sports, Hon. Nii Lante Vanderpuye who took time

off his busy schedule to host the Koreans at his office in Accra on the

back of Lee chalking two round one knockout victories against Ghanaian

opponents.

Aside the exchange opportunities to take Ghanaian boxers to also train

under first class facilities in Korea, Gh Bosslink who have also secured

a deal with the Korean partners to in the near future build a boxing gym

in Accra to house and train street children to be professional boxers,

have through their UK representative, Mustapha Issah struck the deal

with the British boxer who reportedly is keen on fighting a lot more in

Ghana.

“Adam Taylor is excited at the prospect of fighting not just in Africa

but in Ghana, the land of Azumah Nelson, a boxer he admires so much. He

wants to win a world title as a pro boxer and believes a long stay and

training in Ghana will push him closer to that ambition,” Mustapha

Issah told Boxing247.com.

“Our aim is to take boxing to the next level and we have already taken

a huge step with our Korean partners. Now we are with a British boxer

and we are working hard to secure more of these exchange partnerships to

promote our boxers,” the Gh Bosslink UK representative added.
