The 2024 Ghana Professional Boxing League returns with some exciting pairings on match night 6 on Saturday at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra.
Presented by Imax Promotions and screened live across the country via Max TV, the race to determine who dethrones last year’s winners, Ghana Army is heating up after 5 nights of fight action.
The defending champions who have again jumped atop the standings on 13 points following 4 wins and a draw so far hope to maintain the status quo through Alex Otchere who battles Simon Kafari of 5th placed Panix Gym in a welterweight 6-rounder.
Otchere tilted the scales at 149.2 lbs while Kafari came in at 149.5 lbs at Friday’s pre-fight weighs at the Bukom Boxing Arena, amid verbal exchanges between coaches and teams of both boxers.
Second in the league on 12 points, Attoh Quarshie will be hoping to capitalise on any setback for the leaders when Ebenezer Monnie Sowah who came in at 160.7 lbs takes on Moses Lartey of 4th placed Bridge who weighed 162 lbs for their middleweight clash scheduled for 8 rounds.
On 10 points in third place, Palm Springs/Complex 4 will have Isaac Aryeetey (120.7 lbs) face Gilbert Akisim of Black Panthers (123.3 lbs) in a super bantamweight contest over 6 rounds.
Other fights will see 6th placed Wisdom Gym represented by Mandela Atulik who made a weight of 174 lbs in a light heavyweight clash against Paul Sackey of second from bottom, Prisons who weighed 173 lbs and another super bantamweight 6-rounder featuring Enoch Lamptey of Discipline Gym who are languishing in 10th position against Isaac Quaye of Fit Square/Seconds Out who are 7th on the log.
Concluding the action on Saturday night will be rock bottom on zero points after losing all 5 fights so far, Akotoku Boxing Academo hopes Elvis Mensah who tilted the scales at 132.5 lbs can give them some redemption against Michael Dadzie of Sea View who weighed at the same exact 132.5 lbs for their super featherweight cliffhanger scheduled for 6 rounds.
