For Saucedo in 2014 he failed in his bid to win a world title (super featherweight belt), the Argentine lost via a unanimous decision to Cuban hard puncher Rances Barthelemy.
Tagoe's last fight was three months ago when he knocked out Carlo Magali in round eight to make his second defense of his WBA international lightweight belt while Saucedo last outing was last month when he unanimously defeated Pablo Manuel Ojeda to claim to claim the interim WBO Latino super featherweight belt.
Tagoe is being promoted by Baby Jet Promotions, a promotional outfit owned by Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan.
