I am ready for Pedraza’s challenge – Richard Commey
Former Lightweight champion Richard Commey has stated that he’s prepared and expects a grim challenge from Puerto Rican Boxer Jose Pedraza when the two face off on Sunday.

Vasiliy Lomachenko was Commey’s last opponent in a fight that the Ghanaian was completely dominated by his counterpart. He has kept that aside and talks hard ahead of Pedraza’s showdown.
“Physically am ready, mentally ready, spiritually, I mean ready for Saturday. Am expecting nothing but the best because he’s been there for a while, he’s been around, he’s a seasoned fighter,” Commey said of his preparation and about his opponent.
Richard Commey has moved up to the 140 pounds division to fight the 33-year-old Puerto Rican former two-division champion who lost his last fight to Jose Ramirez in March this year.
Meanwhile, Commey has not got support from the Ghana Boxing Association which has warned the boxer to not fight under the Ghana flag after he reportedly said he prefers paying boxing development fees to the USA.
“The Ghana Boxing Authority has no connection with Richard Commey,” Kotei Neequaye said on Friday.
“We banned Richard Commey. He said he prefers paying [boxing] development fee to the US authority so we don’t see him as one of the Ghanaian boxers so have no interest in his fight,” he stated.
