Manager of exciting Ghanaian boxer and newly-crowned Professional Boxing Council (PBC) super flyweight champion Jessie Manyo Plange says he is not going to relent in his efforts in their avowed bid to win a title this year.
The manager, Mohammed Abdul Samadu – who spearheads the All for One Promotions and doubles as the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF), Vice President, is highly confident of the prospects of his ward.
“Manyo Plange has been around for a while and has mushroomed into a formidable unit. I can tell you without any fear of contradiction that this guy is destined for greatness.
“Irrespective of that, we’re training even harder to ensure no stoned is left unturned in our drive to conquer the world,” he told the Times Sports at the weekend.
It is recalled that Manyo Plange was adorned with the Professional Boxing Council (PBC) super flyweight title in Accra, on Friday.
The former Black Bomber (20-0-1, 16 KOs) last Saturday February 1, dazzled the crowd with a whopping fourth round stoppage of Nigeria’s Sheriff Kareem in their bantamweight contest to win the title at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra.
He was, however, not decorated on the night due to the delayed arrival of the title belt.
Last week’s star-spangling performance Manyo Plange, a 2008 Olympian – earned him a No. 8 slot on the WBA bantamweight rankings, an opportunity the boxer asserted he would not let go.
“This is a great chance and I pray that things work out well for me and my able-bodied team,” he said.
