The 19-year-old boxer is currently undefeated with 8 wins, 6 of them via knockouts, while his 23-year-old Tanzanian opponent's record stands at 12 win(s) 3 losses and 2 draw(s).

Lamptey also added that he was glad about what he has been able to achieve so far and encouraged boxing fans to show up to the event early because “they may end up missing the action since he plans to knock out his opponents in the early stages of the match.”

He reiterated his commitment to the course of becoming a boxing world Champion while also promising to raise his country's flag high on the world stage.

WBO African President Mr. Samir Captan warned Lamptey against underestimating his opponent and urged him to “be careful while in the ring and not to listen to anyone else apart from his corner.”
