Isaac Quaye vows to claim WBO / NABO title

Ghana’s Super Flyweight boxing champion Isaac Korley Quaye has vowed to

claim the WBO / NABO Super Flyweight title when he fights incumbent champion

Puerto Rican Cesar Seda for the vacant crown on 18 February.

Quaye who goes by the nickname Pretty Boy Jnr has exclusively told

SportsInGhana.com in Accra that the chance to claim the North America belt

provides him with the perfect opportunity to launch his career on the

international stage.

“It’s the dream of every boxer to win a world title and I also have that

dream. I want to be world champion within two years and this fight is the

best chance for me to announce myself to the world. I have no choice than to

win the title and I promise to deliver for Ghana,” stated Quaye who

previously lost a Commonwealth Super Flyweight title bid to Don Broadhurst

in October 2008.

Barely a month to his big night come February 18, the Ghanaian pugilist is

enmeshed serious training preparing for the in the heart of Bukom, the very

environs from which emerged some of the grestest boxers the sport has ever

seen, Azumah Nelson, Ike Quartey, Joshua Clottey, name them. It is to such

illustrious list, that Isaac Quaye wants his name to be scripted as he

prepares to towards the fight and is scheduled to leave Ghana on Valentine’s

Day 14th February for the bout which is billed for Coliseo Pachins Vicens in

Pounce, Puerto Rico.

Seda who defeated Ernie Marquez last year to win the WBO / NABO Flyweight

title will be no easy opponent as he boasts a professional record of 20

wins, no defeat with 15 KOs. Isaac Quaye who has a relatively modest record

of 14 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw with 7 knock outs is not overawd. He

promises to return to Ghana more pretty and more importantly as the new WBO

/ NABO Flyweight champion.

And no body believes in the ability of Pretty Boy Junior than his own boss

and financier. “My boxer is ready and can face Seda and Insha Allah we shall

bring the title back to Ghana. All we need is very strong prayers and

support of the Ghana Boxing Authority and al Ghanaians and we shall make

them proud,” stated Abdul Razak Yakubu, Manager of Isaac Quaye.

Also backing the 30 year old boxer is his coach Samuel Odartei Lamptey who

says confidence is high in their training camp and that nothing will stop

Pretty Boy junior from returning from Puerto Rico a success story.

“We are ready to conquer the world, this is the chance we’ve wanted for a

long time and now that we’ve got it nothing can stop us. The boxer has

trained well and is in good shape so I can promise Ghanaians that we will

win for them,” Coach Odartei Lamptey has pledged.
