Last Saturday, Kofi Jantuah and his newly founded promotion “Prize Fight Entertainment” held their first own show in Kumasi, Ghana, labeled as “Rumble in the Garden City”.
Although it started to rain, there was an audience of 6,000 people watching at the outdoor Baba Yara Stadium when former world title contender Jantuah, now 32-3-1 (21), stopped Argentina ’s Ricardo Manuel Genero, 13-7-3 (6), in the fourth during the main event.
“It was great to fight in front of my home crowd”, Jantuah said. “I hope we can do that again very soon. Ghana is fired up to see great boxing and we are willing to give it to the Ghanaian people.”
Jantuah is eyeing the vacant IBF Intercontinental Championship next. “I hope we can make it happen very soon”, the “Pride of Ashanti ” added. “I feel great and I want to go for a major title again. I think a fight in early October would be good.”
The card in Kumasi also featured “Hot Ice” James Obede Toney, 23-3-1, who decisioned Adjin Tetteh and “The Crusader”, Charles Adamu, 16-3, who beat Mohammed Bameyi.
