Ray Narh's fight in Macau postponed

By Prince Dornu-Leiku

The WBC international super
lightweight championship fight between Ghanaian Sugar Ray Narh and Prawet
Singwancha of Thailand scheduled for China mainland of Macau this Saturday July
30 has been postponed to August 27 due to some technical challenges.

Narh, (25-2, 21 KOs), famously known to his fans
as the Emperor is smarting from his second career loss in his last fight
against American Mike Alvarado last May 7. It is a defeat he blamed on an
illness hours before entering the ring, and is counting on victory against the
experienced Singwancha (46-3-2, 26 KOs) to authenticate his claim for bragging
rights among the big boys of the light welterweight division of world boxing.
Now he has to wait a bit
longer to state his case against the 34 year old Singwancha who has held the
WBC International Light welterweight belt since taking it via a unanimous
points decision victory over Heri Andriyato in April 2009 and has previously
also twice challenged for the WBA Lightweight world title.
“Nothing much, I’m just
a little sad but it’s going to give me a little more time to practice to go for
the kill. I just want all of my
true fans to take note of the new development and keep on supporting me with
their prayers,” Narh told SportsInGhana.com from his USA base.
It is however not too
clear if the rescheduled fight on August 27 will still take place at the
Venetian Macao Casino, Macao, Macao S.A.R., China.
