Richard Commey is the type of boxer that his peers would consider high risk, low reward. So while it pained the unbeaten Ghanaian lightweight to vacate his regional title, the belief is that it will prove to be a wise move in the long run.
On the heels of a four-win campaign in 2015 – all of which came by knockout – Commey has become the leading contender for the International Boxing Federation (IBF) lightweight title. The promotion comes right on time, as he literally ran out of challengers for the belt he previously held.
“I’m disappointed to have to vacate my IBF Intercontinental title,” Commey (23-0, 21KOs) said in a statement released through his promoter, Sauerland Event’s press office. “I heard that the IBF wrote to all 15 potential opponents in the rankings and nobody wanted to take the fight. When I had the chance to fight for the title, I took the opportunity with both hands so I was surprised when no one came forward to challenge me.”
