World title aspirant Emmanuel Tagoe has asked President John Dramani Mahama to watch out for him as he strives to rule the world in the next few months. Nicknamed �Game Boy�, the stylish boxer revealed in a media conference in Accra yesterday that he was armed to the teeth to realize his world title ambition to welcome President Mahama into office. But before making that dream a reality, new boxing syndicate Baby Jet Promotions has pit him against Philippine opponent Robald Pontillas in a WBA/WBO Africa Super Featherweight championship code named, �Road to Legendary� on April 26, at the Lebanon House in Accra. To Tagoe, the forthcoming bout offers him an opportunity to put his house in order ahead of his world title dream, saying, �The president should watch out for me. The titles you see in front of us on the high table does not really matter to me. �If I don�t win a World title, then God does not exist. I will win a title to welcome the president. You know what I am capable of. I will go about the fight in a nice way to make my fans happy as usual. �I am a king. It was God who enthroned me and if you try to distool a sitting king, you may end up losing your life. Expect a spectacular entry into the ring. I entered in a palanquin the last time, I am pleading with my fans to come early to witness yet another brilliant entry.� Chief Executive Officer of Asamoah Gyan Foundation Sammy Anim Addo, who chaired the function, promised a repetition of the � Clash of the Kings� bout, noting, �We hoping to replicate what happened the last time Baby Jet Promotions pitted two of the country�s finest- Tagoe and Ashy. We want to bring back those glorious days of boxing.� Newly-appointed Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) Peter Zwennes pledged his outfit�s support for the event and expressed the wish that more World beaters will emerge from Ghana before the end of this year. Also on the �Road to Legendary� bill is George Ashy, who will battle Kenya�s Michael Odhiambo in their eight round International Lightweight championship, while Michael Ansah will face Abraham Osei-Bonsu in their national Super Featherweight championship. Isaac Quaye will take on Namibia�s Abmer Shidjuu in their 10-round Commonwealth Flyweight Final Eliminator with Ahmed Saraku coming face to face with Alani Sulaimon in an International Middle Weight contest. Prince Dzanie will face Albert Commey in their six-round Bantam Weight Contest. Preceding the Vit�s Instant Noodles-sponsored bouts is a comprehensive media program rolled out by Baby Jet Promotions supported by Box Office Sports.
