Ghana’s Richard Commey (25-2, 22 KO’s) is on the verge of getting another World title shot as the International Boxing Federation (IBF) has ordered an eliminator fight between him and Russia’s Roman Andreev (20-0, 14 KO’s),” Ghanacrusader.com can exclusively reveal.

The Ghanaian was initially scheduled to face America’s Alejandro Luna but the latter pulled out of the fight.
