breaking news! clottey's coach refused us visa!

[Calilloyd]

Na, fight won't be in jeopardy because of that. I'm sure they'll find a way to get him over or replace him with somebody Clottey is comfortable with.

I agree. They'll get him over here.

critical times.... the longer the wait, the worst for clottey.

[Rasjudah]

Damn man this is crazy , so he canned Kwame? Damn this is not good news....

[EMIL2010]

I think its time for FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR.

PACQUIAO would KO CLOTTEY in 2 rounds if FLOYD MAYWEATHER SR. is in CLOTTEY s corner.

By Prince Dornu-Leiku - Godwin Dzanie Kotey AKA Alloway, the trainer of WBO welterweight title challenger Joshua Clottey and his assistant Daniel Clottey have been refused a visa renewal by the US Embassy in Accra. The coach and assistant’s respective previous visas expired at the end of November last year, but attempts to renew it in order to make it to the US on time for preparations by the boxer towards the March 13 world title fight against Manny Pacquiao has been met with resistance by US authorities in Ghana.

According to the two after they went to the US Embassy last Wednesday to apply for the visa renewal, Kotey the trainer was only given a paper stating that the visa has been temporarily withheld and he will get a call later, but Clottey the assistant trainer was flatly refused. This, the two say does no good to the preparations of Joshua Clottey as he prepares for the do or die showdown with the Philippine’s Manny Pacquiao. “We are very disappointed because we need to train. Now Joshua is all alone in the US and even if he is training, there is no supervision,” Coach Kotey stated..

A boxer needs four others to work with in his corner when preparing for and during the fight itself, which are the chief cornerman who is automatically the trainer, his assistant, the cutman and the bucketman. Mr. Godwin Kotey has therefore appealed to Ghanaian boxing authorities and promoters for the March 13 big fight to intervene in order for the US Embassy to issue the visas to the trainer and his assistant to make the journey.

Joshua Clottey who only last Tuesday concluded paperwork in the US on the fight is expected to return to Ghana tomorrow in order to personally facilitate the visa application for the trainers. “You need time to prepare in boxing. Even the day Joshua was notified for the fight was already too short for a fight of such magnitude. He needs at least four months to prepare for a big fight like this,” a very frustrated Godwin Kotey said

How about this scenerio.... CLottey reschedules, Manny signs fight with Mosely before Floyd.... or even better, bidding war on who fights mosely, between Floyd and Manny and Mosely makes a fortune...

He canned him. I wonder who the new guy is? Probably the same person who trains Agbeko.

Okay, I was baffled!!! He doesnt need a trainer anyway he gets beat either way.

[IMDAZED]

Okay, I was baffled!!! He doesnt need a trainer anyway he gets beat either way.

Arum will probably pick a trainer for him if this one can't fly over.

[M.I Truth ?]

He actually asked everyone on face book if he should fire his trainer before he did it. I found that interesting.

[M.I Truth ?]

Do u think he's taking a dive?
