Indeed it was an eyesore at the Woezor Hotel in Ho, the Volta Region of Ghana as two time former bantamweight world champion Joseph ‘King Kong’ Agbeko decisioned his counter-part Ekow Wilson via a 10th round TKO in his maiden defence of his WBO Africa bantamweight strap that he secured in March of this year 2018.
Truth be told, Agbeko started very well amidst the chants from the locals “King Kong” King Kong ” that energized the former world champion to up his game.
His flurry combinations of punches wore his opponent out and it was no surprise when the knockout came in the 10th round of the scheduled twelve.
