''Game Boy'' Tagoe ready to fight Argentina's Saucedo for IBO title

Ghanaian boxer Emmanuel ‘’Game Boy’’ Tagoe will battle Argentina’s Fernando Saucedo for the vacant IBO lightweight belt in Accra later next month.

Tagoe currently holds the WBA International Lightweight belt – a title he won in 2015 when he outpointed Filipino De los Reyes.

He currently ranked WBA number 9 and IBO number 17, having lost one of 27 professional bouts. Tagoe has 13 knockouts and has won his last six.

The is a huge opportunity for Tagoe to give the country a World title after compatriot Richard Commey failed last September in Pennsylvania, when he lost by a disputed split decision against Robert Easter Jr.

And Tagoe’s promoters, the Baby Promotions want to ensure the dream of holding a World title becomes a reality.

‘’I know Game boy will not let this chance slip through his hands, He has come a long way.’’

‘’He is not going to lose guard and I know he will make Ghana proud. He’s prepared well, his condition is perfect.. so let us hope for the best for him[Tagoe]’’

The fight will come off on November 25 but venue is unknown.
