There was a huge cheer from the gathering at the weigh-in session after both boxers fell within the cut-off weight of 135 pounds to set up what promises to be an intriguing fight on Friday night.
Tickets for the bout at the Accra Sports Stadium are almost sold out.

Asamoah Gyan was delighted with how the programs towards the fight has panned out and is eagerly awaiting the bout itself.

“Not only the main bout which I think will be keenly contested but for the undercard fights as well.
“My team have done a great job and I am sure the fans who will come and see the fight will be very happy and entertained.”
