British boxer to fight in Ghana

GH BOSSLINK PROMOTIONS BRINGING BRITISH BOXER TO FIGHT IN GHANA

Fresh from bringing down Korean boxers to train and fight professionally
in Ghana, Gh Bosslink Promotions CEO, Collins-Bio Donkor has now also
struck a deal for British boxer, Adam Taylor to come and hone his skills
in this country.
Accordingly, Taylor, a super middleweight who has as a semi-pro fought
all over the world but never in Africa and who now has a professional
record of 2-1 and dreaming of a world title triumph, will arrive in
Accra next month to train for some few days before making his Africa
debut on the undercard of highly rated WBO Africa featherweight
champion, Isaac Dogboe’s unification fight against Filipino, Tabanao
in the Ghanaian capital on August 26.
Taylor is expected to stay beyond fight night to train under the
tutelage of experienced Ghanaian trainers on the invitation of the Gh
Bosslink Promotions chief whose aim to promote and uplift Ghanaian
boxing through international partnerships enters a new phase.
Mr. Bio-Donkor made history earlier this year when his outfit in
association with their Korean partners, brought two boxers from the
Asian country, welterweight Lee Kyu Suk and Jeon Byung Yun, a super
welterweight on a 6-month training tour to develop their talents at the
beginning of their professional careers. An initiative that was hailed
by the Ghana Minister of Sports, Hon. Nii Lante Vanderpuye who took time
off his busy schedule to host the Koreans at his office in Accra on the
back of Lee chalking two round one knockout victories against Ghanaian
opponents.
Aside the exchange opportunities to take Ghanaian boxers to also train
under first class facilities in Korea, Gh Bosslink who have also secured
a deal with the Korean partners to in the near future build a boxing gym
in Accra to house and train street children to be professional boxers,
have through their UK representative, Mustapha Issah struck the deal
with the British boxer who reportedly is keen on fighting a lot more in
Ghana.
“Adam Taylor is excited at the prospect of fighting not just in Africa
but in Ghana, the land of Azumah Nelson, a boxer he admires so much. He
wants to win a world title as a pro boxer and believes a long stay and
training in Ghana will push him closer to that ambition,” Mustapha
Issah told Boxing247.com.

“Our aim is to take boxing to the next level and we have already taken
a huge step with our Korean partners. Now we are with a British boxer
and we are working hard to secure more of these exchange partnerships to
promote our boxers,” the Gh Bosslink UK representative added.
