Organisers for the bout, Baby Jet Promotions say the shift in venue is to accommodate the increasing number of spectators who have shown interest in the bout.
The Tagoe-Pontilla bout, scheduled on Friday April 26, is the second bout to be staged by Baby Jet Promotions, owned by Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan.

According to Anim Addo, on Sunday April 21, the various boxers on the bill will meet their fans as well as Vits Noodles, title Sponsors of the event at Bukom, the home of boxing in Ghana.
He said the various boxers will engage in shadow boxing and exhibit their skills and readiness for the bout on Friday April 26.
