IBF Lightweight champion Richard Oblitey Commey will on Saturday night 14th December face Honduran-American professional boxer Teofimo Lopez in a bid to defend his world title.
The bout comes off at the Madison Square Garden in New York as both athletes promise a fiercely contested fight.
Richard Commey has 29 wins out of 31 fights with 26 knockouts to his name whiles Teofimo Lopez is unbeaten in 14 fights with 11 knockouts.
In an interview with Ring Tv, 32-year old Richard Commey said “my thoughts are the same always, I am going in there to win and retain my title.”
“To be honest, I have not seen a lot of him. I leave all that to my trainer. I trust him to come up with a game plan, which I train hard for, and as long as I execute it properly, I will come away victorious. It has worked so far.”
Another bout scheduled to come off on Saturday night will see WBO welterweight belt-holder Terence Crawford defend his title against Lithuanian Egidijus Kavaliauskas.
