Felix Ajom dares Osei Bonsu in top fight of Azumah Nelson Fight Night 5

Ahead of the press conference to formally announce the bill at the Accra City Hotel on Wednesday November 29, undefeated Felix ‘Alvaro’ Ajom (8-0-1, 7 KOs) has sent a strong warning to Abraham ‘No Shaking’ Osei Bonsu (11-2-1,10 KOs), vowing to stop his opponent in round 9 when the two fight for the vacant Ghana national super featherweight title on the Azumah Nelson Fight Night round 5 at the Bukom Boxing Arena on December 9.

One of five evenly matched bouts on the Hemann Promotions bill, matchmaker Rasheed ‘Believer’ Williams insists the fight of the night is the clash between Ajom and Bonsu who previously held this same title and lost a split decision to Wahab ‘Seunzy’ Oluwaseun back in April in a fight for the same belt.

Ghana’s Quartey faces Turley in final Commonwealth title eliminator in UK October 6

Ghana's Quartey faces Turley in final Commonwealth title eliminator in UK October 6

Ghana’s Emmanuel ‘Akufo-Afddo’ Quartey (21-2, 19 KOs) has the chance to move closer to a shot at the elusive Commonwealth title when he fights Robbie Turley of Wales (18-6, 4 KOs) in an international super bantamweight contest in the UK on October 6.

The Commonwealth title has eluded the hard hitting Quartey for a long time as many opponents have chickened out of facing the Ghanaian including Gamal Yafai also of the UK (12-0, 5 KOs) who relinquished the title last year rather than fight the Ghanaian slugger.

But Quartey, famously nicknamed Akufo-Addo after Ghana’s President, could finally set up a date to win the British Empire title if he can see off the challenge of 23 year Turley on the Saniger Events bill at the famous Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol, England next month.
