Azumah In Australia
The large number of admirers of Ghanaian boxing legend Azumah Nelson who saw him off at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra on his way to Australia for his impending non title fight against old foe Jeff Fenech were impressed with his physical appearance that showed that at the ripe age of 50 he could still be a terror in the ring.
And the boxer himself left no doubts in the minds of his admirers by boldly predicting a seventh round victory over Fenech in his home country on June 24.
Accompanied by his manager cum father in law Yoofi Booham and trainer Dr Awudu Nelson who is also his younger brother, Azumah asked Ghanaians to pray for him for resounding victory.
This is the third fight between the two hard- hitting boxers. The first one in 1991 was a draw and Azumah convincingly won the return in 1992.
