Ghana’s Patrick Okine and Namibia’s Jeremiah Nakathila are ready to battle each other on Tuesday at the Ramatex Hall in Windhoek, Nambia.

On Monday, Okine-Nakathila stepped on the scales and weighed 58.9Kg.

The Ghanaian will be fighting Nakathila for the latter’s WBO Africa super featherweight belt.

“Patrick Okine is feeling strong and positive minded and he will bring the belt home,” Okine’s manager Dauda Fuseini said after the weigh-in.

“So far so good the spirit is so high and we want to assure Ghanaians that we will do our best to bring the title to Ghana and also revenge Obodai Sai’s loss. We want to assure Ghanaians that we are taking the title to Ghana just like Walter Kautondonkwa did to our own Obodai Sai.”

“We kindly ask for prayers from Ghanaians ahead of Tuesday’s fight and we will surely not let the nation down.”
