German boxer Uensal Arik showed up in Ghana to re-ignite his fledgling career and scored a fourth round TKO over local tough boy Isaac Sackey. Arik is scheduled to have two more fights in Accra to beef up his 1-1 record before returning home. Sackey drops to a reported three wins and five losses having faced some of the Ghana's better competition. Nigerian Light Heavyweight champion Isaac Ekpo, newly based in Accra, tuned up for his proposed WBO Africa title match with a fourth round dismantling of winless Kojo Adaho. But, a slim and trim Ekpo weighed in under the Super Middleweight limit and now plans to campaign in that division. Ekpo advances to a reported 9-1 but there are at least half a dozen early wins missing off his record.
The island of Reunion hosted its first ever world title match in Saint Denis when WBF Super Lightweight champion Myriam Lamare of France took a shutout unanimous ten round decision over Colombian contender Lely Luz Flores. Lamare improved to 18-3 while Flores, in her fourth attempt to grab world honors, slips to 16-6.
Kenyan Welterweight contender George Owano popped up in Tyumen, Russia attempting to collect his eleventh win in seventeen outings in a four round warmup against local loser Niazi Samedov. Instead, the East African visitor only managed his first draw against an opponent with only one win coming into his seventh paid match.
Tanzanian champion Francis Miyeyusho travelled all the way to Thailand to face undefeated world ranked contender Thangthong Kiattaweesuk over twelve rounds last Friday. But, after five rounds of toe-to-toe fighting, the undefeated Thai dropped the willing but outclassed Miyeyusho for the count to collect his sixteenth knockout in twenty-three fights. The globe-trotting Tanzanian vet now stands at 30-10-2.
