They can be 180, 190, I will just weigh 170 and fight them in the name of the game we all love and which puts food on our table.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gbenga has also expressed profound respect and appreciation to Joy Dadi Industries and Landmark Promotions for putting up the expected big fight in Kumasi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really appreciate the promoters and sponsors for putting so much money into boxing, trying to keep the sport alive.
