Former IBF World champion Richard Oblitey Commey is set for a return in the square ring to do what he does best once again.
The two division hopeful, who held the IBF world lightweight strap in 2019 is on a new mission in the super lightweight division with the sole ambition to become a multi-division champion.
Commey secured a split draw versus Jose Pedraza (29-4-1, 14KOs) three months ago from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA and is ready for his next bout as announced in his tweet.
The Jamestown native twitted “Great to catch up with my manager @Mickey_Moo in New York, some bonds can never be broken ❤️ Fight news coming soon👊🏿 @loudibella @DiBellaEnt 🇬🇭❤️🇺🇸❤️🇬🇭”
