According to the Ghanaian Times and Ghana Web, Ashalaja, Ghana will play host to a big boxing show on August 17th, to be promoted by Derrick Kotey Jr., a reported son of Ghana’s former world champion, Alfred ‘Cobra’ Kotey. The main event will be a junior welterweight contest between Ghana’s Benjamin ‘Lumba’ Lamptey (10-3-1) and Nigeria's Opagun "Omodaddy Stayer" Samuel (4-1). Another Nigerian, Olagede Tunde will face Togo's Wari Razak while Sidick Musah engages Kofi Johnson in an all-Ghanaian super middleweight affair. Mubarak Abubakar and Rasheed Abolaji will add to the Ghana-Nigeria rivalry in a middleweight eight rounder while Charles Sossoya and Kweku Eric battle it out in a six-round welterweight contest. Prince Okoe Nartey will complete the bill with a super middleweight showdown with Karim Mohammed.
