Boxer Emmanuel Tagoe believes his fight against Joebert Reyes will be as exciting as the mega fight between Floyd Mayweather Jnr and Manny Pacquiao.
The Ghanaian will be looking to win the vacant WBA International Lightweight championship against his Filipino opponent on Friday at the Tennis Court of the Accra Sports Stadium.
A win for Tagoe would see him break into the top 15 rankings in the WBA, which will push him forward towards getting a world title shot.
The talented boxer aside being confident of securing the win believes he will sell out an exciting bout on Friday which can only be rivalled by the Mega May 2 fight between Floyd Mayweather Jnr and Manny Pacquiao.
“A lot of people have been talking about that bout [Mayweather vrs Pacquiao] but I have brought that fight to Ghana,” he said at a press conference on Tuesday.
“So why will you be at home? This is Ghana versus the Philippines and that is why I am being called the Ghana Mayweather.
“If you sit at home and decide not to come to this fight then I don’t see how you can ever have interest in boxing.”
Friday’s bout which is being staged by Baby Jet Promotions is in partnership with SuperSport and sponsored by Mama Vits, Starr FM and Best Western Premier Hotel.
