Richard Commey, Frederick Lawson and Duke Micah were the toast of Ghanaian boxing on Saturday at the Freedon Fight Night organised by Streetwise Promotions together with Errol Hawk Sports Management at the Bukom Boxing Emporium in Accra.<\/p>\n
The three boxers won their respective title bouts at the event to start 2017 on a winning note.<\/p>\n
The event was part of the country\u2019s 60th independence celebrations and it offered Commey, Lawson and Micah the chance to boost their bids for respective world title shots.<\/p>\n
Commey took on Belgian-based Hedi Slimani in the main event for the WBC International Silver Lightweight belt and it turned out to be a close contest.<\/p>\n
Commey was fighting for the first time in 2017 and he went for Slimani from the onset. He opened a cut beneath the Tunisian\u2019s left eye but could not push the initiative for a stoppage.<\/p>\n
