Prince and Baseline International Promotion Syndicate will present a special Christmas box for patrons of the pugilistic sport when it stages a seven-bout package behind the Osu Stand of the Accra Stadium tomorrow.

The bill, dubbed ‘Fists of fury’, promises to be thrilling, considering some exciting boxers on parade and will see Anyetei Laryea staking his national and West Africa bantamweight title against Sumaila Babu in the only championship bout.

Topping the supporting bouts will be the super featherweight fight involving “Ghana Pride” Raymond Narh and Samouna Malik over eight rounds.

Narh’s stable mate at B. K. Memorial Club, Ben Neequaye, will confront Ben Ankrah in an eight-round lightweight contest while Osumanu Akaba and Adamu Mohammed battle it out in a featherweight contest over eight rounds.

In a lightwelterweight eight-rounder, the “pride of Armed Forces”, Moro Tijani, will square off with Ayanga Ayirige while Zakari Salifu clashes with Badu Akwetey in an eight-round lightweight bout.

Lightweights Alex Brew and Lartei Lartey complete the night’s bill when they engage in a six-round fight.
