Jackson Marinez didn’t hesitate when he was presented with an opportunity late last year to fight Richard Commey. Ghana’s Commey hasn’t boxed since Teofimo Lopez knocked him out in the second round almost 14 months ago to take the IBF lightweight title from him at Madison Square Garden. Commey can punch, though, and before Lopez stopped him the former champion had lost only a pair of 12-round split decisions to Robert Easter Jr. and Denis Shafikov in back-to-back bouts in 2016.

Whether as the chief support or in his recently upgraded headlining act, the goal remains the same for Richard Commey. The former lightweight titlist returns to the ring for the first time in 14 months, having not fought since a crushing 2nd round stoppage at the hands of Teofimo Lopez (16-0, 12KOs) in Dec. 2019 to end his IBF lightweight title reign. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic stalled plans for a comeback tour in 2020, a journey which now begins with a crossroads bout this weekend versus lightweight contender Jackson Marinez (19-1, 7KOs).
