Crack Ghanaian boxer, Victus Kemavor, has boasted that he will demolish US-based Nigerian, Oluwafemi “The Eagle” Oyeleye, when they clash in an international middleweight challenge bout at GOtv Boxing Night 17 on December 28.

The bout is one of the two international contests scheduled for the event, which holds at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.

Kemavor is a replacement for Oyeleye’s initial opponent, Meshack “Smart Boy” Mwankemwa, who pulled out due to an undisclosed injury.

The Ghanaian, in a telephone interview, declared that he is in top shape and ready to demolish his Nigerian opponent right on his home turf.

“ I am more than ready to leave my comfort zone to further prove that Ghanian boxers are better than Nigerians,” boasted Kemavor.
