The stage is set for an epic showdown after both boxers weighed-in on Thursday afternoon and former world champion, Joseph King Kong Agbeko has promised to give Ghanaians a good show tonight when he fights Colombian Luis Melendez at the Accra Sports Stadium in what is also his first fight in this country in 6 years.

Aside the quest to sell a good fight to his countrymen, Agbeko is also in line to return to world championship glory with the IBO Bantamweight title at stake in the bout against Melendez which headlines Agbeko’s own newly formed Fresh King Entertainment’s maiden ever promotion, incidentally the first world title fight in Ghana since 1987.

Coming in the wake of a Congress and elections which elected Peter Zwennes as the new President of the sport in Ghana, young prospects Sena Agbeko and Fred Lawson also feature on the action packed bill expected to attract many Ghanaian boxing greats, administrators, officials, fans and enthusiasts including some of Agbeko’s musician and actor friends to the national stadium.

Agbeko was accompanied to the weigh-in by famous hiplife star, Samini and has revealed a desire to win for Ghanaians.

“I’m in great shape, I’m confident of victory. It could be a knockout, it could be on points but definitely an impressive win,” Agbeko told www.sportsinghana.com at Thursday’s weigh-in at the Silverbird Cinema premises inside Accra Mall.

He continued: “I love Ghanaians and I appreciate your support for me over the years even when I was not fighting in Ghana. Please pray for me and come to Accra Sports Stadium to cheer me to victory. This is not a fight for me alone, it’s a fight for the entire nation.”
