Patrick Allotey and Frank Dodzi have promised fireworks this Saturday at the Bulom Boxing Arena.

Allotey-Dodzi will battle each other for the vacant WBO Africa super welterweight strap.

In boxing, thrash talks are allowed and the two boxers with four days to the showdown have started throwing barbs at each other.

On Tuesday morning at the Bukom Boxing Arena, the promotional outfit behind the upcoming clash, Cabic Promotions, and Management, held a pre-fight presser for the two boxers.

At the press conference, Dodzi threw the first shot predicting round three KO over Allotey.

“I’m ready for this opportunity and I thank Cabic Promotions for putting this fight together,”Dodzi said.

“Patrick Allotey is a good boxer no doubt about it. But I want to tell the fans that this fight will not go the distance, I will stop Allotey in the third round.”

But Allotey wasn’t moved by Dodzi’s prediction, “He [Frank Dodzi] said he will stop me in the third round, I will say that is his opinion.”

He continued, “Looking at Dodzi there is no way he can KO me. If does happened then my handlers (Cabic Promotions & Managment) should sack me. Dodzi should prepare for war on Saturday.”

When asked about his prediction, the former WBC international silver welterweight champion said, “I will not predict the round I will KO him. He said he will stop me in round three but before that, there is round one and two. So let see what happens on Saturday, but I want to assure my fans that I will win the belt at stake.”

Cabic Promotions & Management is a promotional outfit which will be inaugurated last month. The upcoming fight will be their maiden promotions.
