Accra, Sept. 11, GNA – The Ghana Boxing
Authority (GBA) has thrown their support behind Patrick Allotey (40-3, 30Ko’s)
in his quest to become a world champion.

Allotey faces an uphill task this Saturday
when he battles reigning World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Junior Middleweight
Champion, Jamie Munguia (33-0, 26Ko’s) at the Dignity Health Sports Park in
Carson.

A press statement signed by the General
Secretary of the GBA, Mr. Patrick Johnson, said, ”at long last our collective
dream to get another world champion is yet to happen again.

”We know a lots of efforts and money have
gone into it to bring you this far. The GBA and the people of Ghana believe in
you.”

The statement added, ”don’t give up, don’t
lose focus and without an iota of doubt, we know you will bring the title to
Ghana”.

Allotey would be Ghana’s 12th world champion
if he is able to defeat Munguia on Saturday, adding to Richard Commey’s
International Boxing Federation (IBF) lightweight title.

It will be the fifth time Munguia will be
defending his title as the bout between Jessie Vargas couldn’t happen.
