Ghana’s IBF lightweight titlist, is arguably the most feared boxer in his lightweight division with his power and wicked reach advantages, not even the likes of pay per view star Lomachenko could be compared to the Jamestown native born and bred in a small community that emerged around the 17th-century, located directly east of the Korle Lagoon, a former British colonial town and is one of the oldest districts in the city of Accra.
Edgar Raymundo Beltran (36-8-1,22 KOs) otherwise known as “Sugar”, is in for his biggest career test in his 46 career bouts so far in a 268 rounds of professional pugilism action. He recently won the World Boxing Council Continental Americas Super Lightweight Title against 29 year Japanese national Hiroki Okada (19-1, 13 KOs) a week after Commey KOed Chaniev in round 2.
The Mexican Beltran is the kind of boxer that the power players uses as a barometer to measure a feared boxer, hence that explains why Commey picked him to send a powerful statement to the critical and sometimes blatantly African biased boxingdom.
