Ghana’s Patrick Allotey (40-3, 30 KO’s) has gotten the opportunity to win a world title for his country after landing a fight with Mexico’s Jaime Munguia (33-0, 26 KO’s), Boxingghana.com can report.
According to sources close to Boxingghana.com, Allotey will be challenging Munguia for the latter’s WBO world super welterweight strap.
The said fight has been billed to come off on September 14, 2019, in Carson, California and it will be on DAZN.
Boxingghana.com sources revealed that Munguia and Jessie Vegas agreed on financial terms for a showdown but the fight was cancelled after the reigning WBO super welterweight champion insisted on a 156-pound catchweight.
However, the fight between Munguia and Allotey will be at super welterweight.
Allotey currently holds the WBO Africa super welterweight strap and he is ranked number 12 by the sanctioned body.
Munguia won the belt in 2018 when he dethroned Sadam Ali after stopping him in round four.
The Mexican hard puncher has then defended the title on four occasions.
