Ghanaian amateur boxing star Joseph Commey, 21, is set to make his professional debut in a championship fight, echoing the path of elite fighters like Vasyl Lomachenko and Andy Cruz. On November 24, Commey will compete at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra for the Universal Boxing Organization™ (UBO) Africa Lightweight title, facing seasoned compatriot Richman Ashelley (11-4, 10 KOs) in a bout broadcast worldwide on DAZN.

Commey, nicknamed “The Jaguar,” secured a silver medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, won gold at the All Africa Games this past March, and advanced to the third round of the Olympic qualifiers in Bangkok. With many experts considering his style more fitting for professional boxing, Commey also triumphed in a semi-pro IBA bout in Ethiopia in August. Now, he faces a formidable test in the power-punching Ashelley.

The “Ghana For Peace Fight Night,” organized by Box Office Sports and BROWNED WORLDWIDE, will feature three additional UBO title fights: Prince Patel vs. Maxwell Awuku (UBO World Welterweight), Tony Bange vs. Eliasu Sulley (UBO World Super Middleweight), and Sampson Segbedzi vs. Isaac Commey (UBO Africa Welterweight title defense).
