Samoan-based Ghanaian Joseph
Kwadjo (13-1, 9 KOs) is the new
Universal Boxing Organization
Intercontinental super
middleweight champion. On
Saturday December 19, at the
Vodafone Arena in Suva, Fiji, Kwadjo scored a unanimous
decision victory over local
favourite Zulfikar Joy Ali.
Scores were: 118-114 (Jeremaia
Ledua), 118-111 (Laurie Glozier)
and 115-113 (Steve Miles).
"I'm happy that I've managed to
win this fight and now I want to
bring the world title fight to
Fiji," Kwadjo said after the
fight to the Fiji Times, and
threw out a challenge towards
UBO world champion Kali Jacobus.
"This win is special for me.
It's for the people of Fiji who
have always been behind me."
Joy Ali, who fell to 29-9-6, 24
KOs, was not happy with his own
performance, and is hoping for a
rematch next year. While UBO
Oceania commissioner Reginald
Leca felt Ali spend too much
time covering up, he did feel
that this fight was one of the
best he has refereed in the
country. |
