In an exclusive telephone conversation with the Public Relation officer of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA), Naa Darkoa Doodo revealed that both parties have agreed in principle but Ayittey Powers, still not convinced on the date and still  will like to do some spiritual consultation come next week.

“Both parties have accepted the Friday , May, 16 2014 as the actually date for the much awaited bout but the comical thing is that Powers  has indicated that we should give him a week to think about it which the  GBA and other stakeholders disagreed.

“But I can assure Ghanaian boxing fans that the said date will not be changed anymore”. Naa Darkoa Doodo added.
