According to Andre Rozier the trainer for the current IBF lightweight world champion Richard Oblitey Commey, the Ghanaian possesses the humility and the humbleness of a priest and the fire and desire of a devil when it is time to fight in the ring.
“Richard put on a stellar performance…he is one of the most under rated boxers. He is a wonderful student and he possess the humility and the humbleness of a priest and the fire and desire of a devil when it is time to fight in the ring.” Rozier stated in an interview.
Under the world class coach, Commey has registered three knockouts in three fights and is now already wearing the world strap. The New Yorker widely considered one of the best coaches in the sport of pugilism is confident in his protégé
“Have been in the business for 30 years and I know a real punching power when i see one.” He said Richard has that.
The coach believes that his charge’s assiduousness and religious nature will see him reach the highest pinnacle in the world of boxing greats.
“He reads his bible every night. Richard is a special champion. God has anointed him……He is still improving.” He expressed.
Rozier believes Commey can cause lot of harm to the fast and skillful Lomachenko and is believing a possible showdown with the Ukranian later in the year when Richard has fully recovered from his injury sustained against Russian fighter Isa Chaniev.
