Many pundits have labeled it ‘Accra versus Kumasi boxing war in the ring’.

Although Ghana’s featherweight champion, Stanley Nyantakyi has accepted the challenge he wants them to meet at the Super Featherweight division as the undefeated super lightweight, Derrick Quaye has verbally exchanged jabs and agreed to fight.

The super clash will be at the Super Featherweight, but there is no promoter at the moment to put them on a bill.

With the status of both boxers, the pundits believe a promoter will come on board soon.

Both are crowd pullers and it will be a classic encounter.

“This is a fight the fans would like to see” said boxing writers Prince Dornu – Leiku of the Graphic Sports and Nii Otoe Von Cofie of Accra Live fame.
