Clottey feels that Braimah Kamoko, who is popularly known as Bukom Banku in the boxing world, is the stronger boxer of the two and says that he will defeat Ayittey Powers if he trains well.

“If Bukom Banku really trains for this fight, I believe and I am sure that he is going to win this fight because I know he (Bukom Banku) is the stronger of the two,”  Clottey said on Power FM Sports.

“But, Ayittey Powers, who are talking about now must not be underrated by Bukom Banku. He must train well and I am sure he will win.”

Clottey is preparing for his fight against Australian boxer Anthony Mundine, the No.4 ranked contender for Floyd Mayweather's WBA super welterweight title, on April 2 at Newcastle Entertainment Centre.

Clottey (37-4, 22 KOs) beat Zab Judah in August 2008 to win the vacant IBF title, but vacated it the following April without making a defence.

His other big win was a victory over Diego Corrales, while his four losses were all to world champions Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito and Carlos Baldomir.
