After claiming the Commonwealth Light Middleweight belt at the Lebanon House in Accra last Saturday night, Ghanaian Obodai Sai says he is ready to take on the world.

The boxer popularly called The Miracle needed no miracles to dominate and beat compatriot Joseph Lamptey via a technical decision after the fight was abruptly stopped in round 7 on the advice of ringside doctor D.C. Sonne following a second examination of Lamptey’s deep cut he sustained in round 3 through an accidental headbutt.

59-56, 59-57, 59-56 the three judges scored the fight, all in favour of Obodai Sai who is quickly looking beyond the Commonwealth title.

“It’s good and I’m feeling so very great but this is just the first step because I’m ready to take on the world. I want to fight WBO champ Miguel Cotto, I want to beat him and take the world title,” Obodai Sai has exclusively told All Sports.

The undefeated Obodai improved his modest record to 15-0 but says he is undaunted at all with the vast experience of triple world champion Cotto who also beat Obodai’s senior compatriot Joshua Clottey barely two years ago.

“I am not afraid because I know what I can do and I will do my best. By all means I will beat him, I assure you. I want to tell my fans that everybody should pray for me and I will make them proud,” the confident Obodai added.
