The GBA President said Tagoe is a durable boxer and well-conditioned with a positive attitude who can make Ghana great, thus he has much confidence in him to win the International Boxing Organisation (IBO) lightweight title.
Lawyer Zwennes continued that now that the World Boxing Association (WBA) has rated Tagoe among the Top 8 and he is perched at 7th, the World Boxing Council (WBC) will also rate him and sooner or later he can at any time be in the Top 4, or among the Best Pound for Pound, or Most Exciting Fighter and then become a record triple world champion.
Among the GBA entourage were Mr. Rabbon Dodoo, 2nd Vice President, Patrick Johnson, General Secretary and Naa Darkua Dodoo, PRO.
Tagoe currently holds the WBA International title plus eight other continental belts, however he wants to hit the ultimate before he can call himself a world champion.
Mzonke Fana, The Rose of Khayelitsha has held the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Super Featherweight, WBC International Super Featherweight champion and South African Super Featherweight Champion.
