Ghana’s Richard Commey has intensified his preparation for his upcoming battle against Russia’s Roman Andreev.

Commey is currently in USA training ahead of the fight. The Ghanaian will face the Russian in an IBF World lightweight title eliminator in December.

The winner of the clash will face America’s Robert Easter Jr, who currently holds the aforementioned belt.

It will be the second time Commey will be storming the European country – the Ghanaian in his first fight (IBF World title eliminator) in Russian last year December lost via a disputed split decision to Denis Shafikov.

Commey is ranked IBF number 4 in the world in the lightweight division while Andreev is number 6.
