Former IBF welterweight champion, Joshua Clottey plans to move up from the welterweight division to middleweight before the end of the year.His decision comes months after compatriot Joseph Agbeko announced a move to the super bantamweight division.This trend is very regular in the welterweight division as the likes of Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao who defeated Joshua in his last two fights have all moved up in weight.Joshua also follows the footsteps of former welterweight champion, Ike Bazooka Quartey who also moved to the middleweight division where he fought former champion Ronald Winky Wright in his last fight in 2006.Joshua tells Joy Sports Nathaniel Attoh he has done enough in the welterweight division. His trainer Alloway, says the move will be a gradual process.“I think it will help him because he is a human being. You just can’t deceive nature. He is growing.“…His knock out ratio is getting down because that tells you that if he sheds a lot of weight before making the weight there is no power behind his punches.” Play the attached audio for excerpts of the interview Source: Joy Sports/Myjoyonline.com/Ghana
