Ghana’s Emmanuel ‘Game Boy’ Tagoe (27-1, 13 KO’s) is optimistic of a victory against Argentina’s Fernando David ‘El Vasco’ Saucedo (61-6-3, 10 KO’s).
The James-Town native will be making his first defense of his IBO lightweight strap on January 27th at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra, Ghana.
Ahead of the fight the former WBA international lightweight champions believed he has prepared well for the fight and he will definitely defend his belt.
“I am on a mission to restore Ghanaian boxing to the top of the world and it continues with this fight. I’ve gone through a lot for this fight and the best satisfaction I can get is to win convincingly for my fans,” Tagoe said at Wednesday’s press conference to announce the fight.
“I’m the only boxer to win 11 titles for Ghana and I’m also Ghana’s only reigning world champion but I want more. My target is to add any of the WBA, IBF or WBC titles to my current collection I’m going to make it happen with the support of my strong team at BabyJet Promotions,” he added.
