'I caught my girlfriend in bed with another guy'

Joshua Clottey Joshua Clottey

Former IBF Welterweight World Champion, Joshua ‘Hitter’ Clottey has revealed that he once caught his girlfriend in bed with another guy a week to his final eliminator bout against Jose Luis Cruz in the US in 2008.

According to reports by Happyghana.com, the incident gave him a torrid time as he was unable to sleep throughout the period before the bout which he won anyway.

"I have an experience in relation to this Afriyie Acquah saga. I remember while in the US preparing for my final IBF eliminator before the title fight with Zab Judah, I had the same problem."

He added: "I caught my girlfriend doing a stupid thing. I followed her secretly in the cold alone with a hood on my head until I caught her and I was to fight the following week. Though I was troubled, I went into the bout and won. I don’t think that because I saw my girlfriend with another guy, I shouldn’t eat or train. The only thing I wasn’t able to do was to sleep. But there was no way I could abandon my job because of what happened."
