Game boy has been exceptional, I watched the fight and the weigh in. He was humble and acknowledged the importance of the fight. Unlike some people we know always running their mouth (aka Ray Narh). With this title he will either fight for an elimination for the title or who knows, under the baby jet promotions, they might be able to bring IBF title fight to Ghana as promised. The sky is the limit for Gameboy now. Good Job

GHANA AND NAMIBIA ARE THE RISING BOXING POWERHOUSE IN AFRICAN CONTINENT
INTERNATIONAL BOXING FEDERATION AFRICA (IBF/AFRICA) – TUESDAY 9 JULY, 2013, DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA – Ghana home, to Azumah Nelson and Namibia home to Harry Simon have proved beyond doubt that they are the boxing powerhouse on the rise. The two countries are home to several IBF continental, International and Intercontinental champions in their own rights who may soon emerged as the champions of the world.
GHANA:
Emulating her best loved sons Poison Kotey and Azumah Nelson, Ghana’s boxing fraternity has come a long way. The success is owed to a mixture of both public and private initiatives. Ghanaian’s IBF wave started in the 2008 when boxer Issac Nettey became the “IBF Continental Bantamweight Champion” after defeating his countryman Galley Cudjoe in an impressive 12 rounder boxing duel.
In 2011 and with its eyes glued on the bigger crowns, GoldenMike Boxing Promotion put in motion two IBF Intercontinental titles in Featherweight and Lightweight. Emmanuel Tagoe became the IBF Intercontinental Featherweight Champion while Joshua Okine captured the IBF Intercontinental Lightweight title respectively.
This was then followed by couple of impressive titles ignited by Richard Commey under the UK based Michael Amoo-Bediako when he became the “IBF Continental Africa Lightweight King” in an epic heated duel. Richard Commey is trained by the Ghanaian top trainer Carl Lokko and he is now based in the UK in preparations for the Commonwealth Boxing Council (CBC) elimination title.
The Beijing Olympiad Frederick Lawson promoted by Alhaj Enusa Sally and Joseph Awinongya followed by capturing the IBF Continental Africa Welterweight Title in a much heaped duel at the Accra National Sports Stadium in Mach 2013.
The GoldenMike Boxing Promotions followed by staging three IBF titles and bringing the 2008 Olympiad Issa Samir in the ring against the Georgian slugger Robinson Omsarashvili. In the same ring, the IBF world rated Albert Mensah showcased his boxing brilliance after sending packing his countryman and boastful Ben Odametey.
The Ghanaian based Nigerian Prince Helen Joseph became the first African female boxer to capture the “IBF Intercontinental Featherweight title” after winning the shortest boxing tournament in history against the Hungarian beautiful Mariana Gulyas. Helen is trained by Kofi Brackets one of the Ghanaian great trainers.
Ghana is definitely on the rise and is proving to regain her lost glory in boxing. With the forthcoming tournaments, she is proving to be the boxing powerhouse in Africa.
NAMIBIA
Found in the South West Africa the same name it was christened by its former rulers (South Africa), Namibia is home to Harry Simon arguably one of the world’s middleweights boxing machismos. She is cueing for a great heights as far as boxing is concerned. A member of the Commonwealth Boxing Council (CBC) Namibia Boxing and Wrestling Board of Control (NBWBofC) is leaving nothing to chances as it consolidates its prowess in boxing.
The country is home to Gottlieb Ndokosho who became the first ever “IBF Africa, Middle East & Persian Gulf (IBF AMEPG)” Featherweight champion when the titles were invented to expand IBF horizons in 2012. Ndokosho has since defended his title successfully.
The move by Ndokosho who is promoted by Kinda Boxing Promotions to capture the IBF AMEPG prompted a series of other IBF titles in that particular country when Albinus Felesianu contested and won the “IBF World Youth Jr. Lightweight Title”. The much higher title was highly celebrated by Namibians from all walks of life.
The Namibian boxing promotional Guru Nestor Tobias of Sunshine Boxing Promotional Academy decided to enter the fray by lining up one of his jewels the Prince Immanuel Naidjala to vie for the IBF International Bantamweight Title in march against the Botswana’s slugger Lesley Sekotswe.
After the tournament was declared a draw, IBF called for a rematch but Sekotwe declined to take a cue as the Kenyan Norfat Emilio replaced him. Naidjala went on to win the title comfortably and made it three golden IBF crowns for Namibia a country which only gained its independence in 1990 against much older countries some of whom gained their independences in the 1950s and 60s!
The recent surge of boxing development in both Ghana and Namibia owes to its partnership between public and the private sector. It is a lesson to be learned by other countries in Africa. The continent is home to the world’s great boxing talents.
Watch this space for further coverage of other countries in the African continent and their accelerating motions in boxing fraternity as they build up their “Sports Tourism” capacities.

Tagoe secures knockout win over American Robles
Ghana’s Emmanuel Tagoe secured a knockout win over Geraldo Robles in the first overseas boxing bout orgranized by Asamoah Gyan.
The 23-year-old stopped his American opponent in the 9th round of the main event hosted at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Cabazon, California to win the vacant IBF Intercontinental Super Featherweight title early Saturday morning – a bout that was funded by Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan.
This huge win ensures the plan to have ‘Game Boy’ secure Ghana’s next boxing world title remains on course.
The James Town born fighter had to do it the hard way to make Ghanaians and his management led by Asamoah Gyan proud.
Majority of the boxer’s office staff and the media had been denied visa in order to travel to the US to offer administrative and moral support.
This threatened to wane Tagoe’s confidence ahead of the bout as he appeared deserted in the US with only his trainers and personal manager Baffour Gyan to fall on.
But this actually fueled the boxer’s determination to go all out to ensure he remains in line for a world title fight.
His 9th round knockout win shocked the predominant American crowd who had attended the fight in their numbers in anticipation of an easy win over the diminutive but loud-mouth Ghanaian.
The win on Saturday now extends Tagoe’s record to 23 wins – 10 by way of knockout.
He is expected to be given a warm welcome on his return to Ghana as he reorganizes himself for his next overseas fight which could possibly be for a world title.

Lets make one thing clear Tagoe DID NOT win the Vacant IBF title. At weigh ins Tagoe DID NOT, I repeat did not make weight of 130, weighing in at 132.3/4 lbs. He was given 2hrs by the IBF commission to lose the weight which was difficult for him and showed no efforts only losing 3/4ths of a lb. By the regulations of the IBF you cannot weigh more than 10lbs the next morning and both fighters were scheduled to weigh in again and only given a maximum of 10lbs over. Robles weight in at 135 and opponent Tagoe again weight in at 145 which automatically lead to the suspension for winning the IBF belt due to overweight. This left Robles with a risk taking decision to further on with the fight for his chance at the title belt. Robles may not have won the fight but those who know boxing know it takes a lot of courage to step into a ring and put up a fight with someone much more heavier than you.
Emmanuel “Game Boy” Tagoe, thank you for making Ghana proud. Keep that spirit.
Good. Now be wary of Don King. He has cheated many fighters and caused many their downfall.
