In an attempt to revive boxing in the Volta region, Aborigines Promotions will on Friday March 30, 2018 assemble boxers in Aflao for a fight night christened “The Homecoming”.

The fight is aimed at re-launching the career of two-time former Bantamweight world champion, Joseph “king kong” Agbeko.

The former holder of the IBF title on two occasions between 2007 and 2011 will have to take two fights to set up another crack at the world title again.

The “King Kong” will take on undefeated Ugandan champion, Frank Kiwalabye (15-0, 12 KOs).

On the night, Volta’s very own favorite Super Lightweight boxer, Dotse Anama (13-1,11Kos) a.k.a “Polopala” is due to fight on the undercard against Amos Dankui

Others on the bill for the undercard are Super Middleweight prospect, John Koudeha will fight George Ankrah.

Welterweight boxer, Victus Kamevor will also battle it out with Ray Ankrah.

Lightweight boxer, Nathaniel Nukpe is to contest Peter Musah whiles Michael Pappoe takes on Moses Dodzi in the super featherweight contest.

The promoter of the March 30th bout, Mitch Woolams who is the CEO of Aborigines Promotions and Aborigines Beach Resort in Keta is confident “The Home Coming” would reactivate boxing careers and the sport in the region.

“The main idea is to get the sport reactive again in the Volta region, and to keep our boxers active.” Said Mitch.

Aflao, apart from sharing Ghana’s border with Togo, is a popular hub in the Volta Region where boxing is vibrant.

Weigh-in is on Thursday March 29, 2018 at 10:00am at the T-Square Arena, Low cost in Aflao, same venue where the fight would take place.
