National Super Lightweight titleholder Samuel Quaye
Reigning national Super Lightweight titleholder Samuel Quaye is set to defend his title against Daniel Quaye at the Bukom Boxing Arena on June 15.
The much-anticipated clash is between two young pugilists who are neighbours, friends, and obviously rivals.
The various communities in Accra (Bukom, Jamestown, etc.) where the two reside have been buzzing about this matchup, with fans divided on who will emerge victorious at the end of hostilities.
Speaking in an interview with Ace TV, Samuel Quaye said "I know Daniel very well. He's my brother and friend; we live in the same house, and that's why this fight has to happen. Two kings cannot live in the same palace. I am the king and champion, and I'll show that on June 15."
Samuel Quaye's manager, Mr. Ahmed Nureni-Davis, expressed confidence in his ward winning the fight, despite admitting that it wouldn’t be a walk in the park.
"It’s a tough one, but that’s what makes champions. These are the kinds of fights that I want for Samuel because my goal is to get him to the world title, and he cannot get there if he’s unable to run through the likes of Daniel Quaye," Davis emphasized.
Samuel Quaye (7-1), who won the title in March against Richard Amenfu, believes he will defeat Daniel Quaye via knockout to retain his national title.
He urged fans to show up for the bout. Daniel Quaye (6-0-1), a product of the Bronx Boxing Gym, is a crafty counterpuncher who relies on hand speed and movement.
The bill, dubbed "Fists of Carnage," is put together by Box Office Boxing Promotions, ACE Power Boxing Promotions, Twinstars Boxing Promotions, and Aborigines Boxing Promotions.
