Boxers scheduled to participate at the GOtv Boxing Night 18 on Sunday at the Indoor Sports Hall of the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, Ibadan have been expressing confidence over the impending ‘war’.
Ghana’s Success “Brave Warrior” Tetteh, who last week, said he is the man to end the unbeaten run of champion, Nigeria’s Oto “Joe Boy” Joseph, boasted that Joe Boy would not last the distance.
“Initially, I thought of making the fans enjoy the fight for much longer, but I’ve concluded that there is no point doing that. I need to finish him off quickly, go back to bed and rest enough for my trip back home. I also have my eyes on the N1m cash prize provided by the sponsors,” he said.
The champion has been anything, but reticent, saying he would reconstruct the Ghanaian’s mouth for boasting ahead of their bout.
“There is a reason I’m the ABU champion as well as the Commonwealth (Africa) lightweight champion, and that’s because I’m good. The mouth with which he’s boasted will be reconstructed and when he looks at himself in the mirror, he’ll imagine he’s another person. It will be war,” Joseph said.
A similar threat was issued by Akeem “Dodo” Sadiku and Ridwan ‘Scorpion” Oyekola, who will fight Ekpresso Djamihou of the Republic of Benin and Taofeek “Taozon” Bisuga respectively.
Dodo, a lightweight king, boasted that he would sting his opponent, who he said, would be packed like frozen turkey back to his country at the end of their international duel.
“I’m the Scorpion. I sting until my opponents fall. The title is mine. His reign is over,” he bragged.
