You are not a world champion – Songo fires Emmanuel Tagoe

Maverick sports journalist Patrick Osei Agyemang, popularly known as Countryman Songo. has taken a strong swipe at Ghanaian boxer Emmanuel Tagoe.

According to Countryman Songo, Tagoe should not describe himself as World champion because the IBO title is not a credible title.

“The IBO is not a credible World title, we don’t have a World champion in Ghana,”Countryman Songo said on Fire for Fire show on Adom TV.

“Tagoe and his people should stop deceiving the people of Ghana, we don’t have a World champion in Ghana. Tagoe is not a serious boxer, he is not a good boxer.

“The boxers he [Emmanuel Tagoe] has been fighting are of low quality, if they [Baby Jet Promotions] want him to be a good boxer they have to get him a good boxer.”

“For me Tagoe’s IBO title is not a World title, the only World sanctioning bodies I know are WBC and WBA and IBF. We have had World champions like, Azumah Nelson, Alfred Kotey, Ike Quartey, Jospeh King Kong Agbeko and Joshua Clottey and not Emmanuel Tagoe.”

Last Saturday’s fight against Fernando David Saucedo was the James Town native’s first defense of his IBO lightweight title.

Tagoe successfully defended his belt via TKO in round 10.
