The stage has been set for the first winner of the new Ghana national flyweight belt to emerge in Accra on Saturday night after undefeated rising star, Mohammed Aryeetey and opponent, Isaac Korley Quaye both made the required límit at the weigh-in Friday morning.
Young Aryeetey (5-0, 4 KOs) tilted the scales at 110 lbs whilst vastly experienced Quaye (31-18-1, 22 KOs) came in at 122 lbs ahead of their clash on the Winbase Promotions event at the Ga-Mashie Hall of the Bukom Boxing Arena in the Ghana capital.
Aryeetey who turned professional only on Christmas Eve last year, has had a stellar 2021, winning all four fights thus far and has been nominated for the prestigious Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) Awards 2021 but must first see off the challenge of a man who made his pro debut way back in 2003 when Aryeetey was only a toddler.
Also fighting for a new national title is Isaac Aryeetey (1-1, 1 KO) who weighed 108 lbs for the Ghana light flyweight championship against Joseph Akai Nettey (2-0, 2 KOs) who made 107 lbs.
