Boxing fans who troop to the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium to witness the WPBF Light Heavyweight title between Ghana’s Braimah Kamoko and his Argentine contender Hector Velazco, must be ready for a surprise.

Kamoko, popularly called Bukom Banku says he will make a triumphant entry to ring side on the 31 July, 2010 in a coffin.

“I will sleep in coffin to come to the ringside to mark the return of the ghost,” Bukom Banku told sit-in host of Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, Benard Saibu.

George Groves took the British Commonwealth Super-Middleweight title tonight with a stoppage win over Ghana’s Charles Adamu. Fighting on the undercard of Haye-Ruiz at the MEN Arena in Manchester, UK, and in only his ninth pro fight, Groves proved to be well ahead of his nominally more experienced opponent.

HBO, the giant TV cable network and a partner of boxing promoter Bob Arum, will no longer tap the services of Joshua Clottey, the unimpressive challenger from Ghana who escaped a knockout loss to defending champion Manny Pacquiao in their recent title fight at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Covering his face from bell to bell and seldom throwing his reputed knockout punches, Clottey lasted the distance, leaving Pacquiao with a lopsided—albeit dull—12-round unanimous decision in retaining his World Boxing Organization welterweight title before a crowd of 50,994, recorded as the biggest boxing crowd in the United States in 17 years.
