Promoter assures of maximum security for Homowo Bonanza
Accra, Aug. 9, Ghanadot/GNA - Napoleon Tagoe, Founder of
Will Power Boxing Promotions and the main promoter for
Sunday's Homowo Boxing Bonanza has assured the media and the
general public of an incident-free event on the pugilist
night.
The championship scheduled for Mantse Agbonaa at James Town,
Accra on August 12 is to climax this year's Homowo festival,
which is celebrated annually by the people of Accra and Gas.
Tagoe, a former World Boxing Council (WBC) International
Light heavyweight champion said this at a Press Conference
on Thursday in reaction to some security concerns raised by
sections of the media.
Some members of the media blamed the organizers of
inadequate security at last week's World Boxing Association
(WBA) event, which led to some people losing properties and
damaged devices.
Tagoe, however in a swift reaction said his outfit has made
the necessary arrangements regarding security this time
round with the support and cooperation of the security
services in his quest to organize an incident-free event.
There has been security concerns with regards to the
festival itself but the former Light heavyweight champion
has allayed those fears, saying, "There is no cause for
alarm".
Mr Moses Foh-Amoaning, Chairman of the Ghana Boxing
Authority (GBA) pledged his outfit's support to the event to
make it a memorable one to befit the festive occasion.
Mr Samuel Anane, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Anasco
Scales and Engineering Services Limited, Co-Sponsors of the
event said his outfit's decision to support the event was
part of their quota towards the development of boxing in the
country.
He assured that future events would be given the needed
attention in their quest to take boxing to its pedestal.
The main bout for the event is the National Featherweight
title bout between Malik Jabir and Emmanuel Tagoe.
Other bouts on the bill are Thomas Okaita Aryetey versus
Odalai Lamptey in a Featherweight Contest whilst Joseph
Laryea squares off against Kuma Doe in the National and West
Africa Boxing Union (WABU) championship eliminator.
Samuel Amoaku will take on Daniel Tindana in an eight round
Lightweight contest just as Albert Mensah battles Kwame
Achar in the same category.
Joshua Okine will sort things out with Paul Achab in a Super
Welterweight 10 rounder while Herbert Quartey rounds it up
against Kwaja Dodoo in an eight round Super Bantam-weight
contest.
