It’s all set for the Danger Zone fight night presented by ACE Power Promotions at La-Palm Royal Beach Hotel tomorrow night, Saturday 16 October, 2021 after all boxers fighting in a total of 12 bouts made their respective weights to set the stage for a showdown in Accra.
In the headline bout, undefeated Robert ‘Stopper’ Quaye (19-0, 16 KOs) tilted the scales at the exact 140 lbs limit whilst tough talking opponent, Nathaniel Nukpe (13-7-1, 13 KOs) came in at 134.7 lbs, making their clash for the

UBO super lightweight title fight scheduled for ten rounds, with both fighters fired up to excite fight fans.
“He knows himself that he is coming to learn, he knows I’m too superior for him and he can’t face me so I’m just going to teach him some few lessons in the ring. I don’t like to talk much because I don’t want to expose my tactics but I can assure all my fans that I will stop him so they should come in their numbers,” an obviously very confident Quaye said after making weight.
The ever talking Nukpe however will not be dissuaded in his own conviction his journey from Aflao to Accra won’t be in vain.
“I am ready, if I wasn’t ready I won’t be here. Even if I’m hurt, I will fight because no pain, no gain. I can’t predict the round but I am beating him all the way, this is a redemption fight for me. Robert is a good boxer and I like his style but I will mess up his style,” Nukpe said with poise.
