I'm ready for world title'

Local boxing hero, Emmanuel 'Game Boy' Tagoe sees his victory over Mexican Geraldo Robbles as a stepping stone to annexing the world title in the coming months.

He told the Graphic Sports on arrival last Tuesday from the United States of America that he was due to fight for a world title in Puerto Rico and was heading straight to the gym to start preparations towards the bout.

Last week, Tagoe who is being managed by the Baby Jets Promotions knocked out Robbles in his first bout in America but praised his Mexicans opponent saying Mexicans have always been tough customers and the victory did not come easy.

Tagoe said the victory puts him in a better position to replicate the enviable feats chalked up by boxing greats such as Azumah Nelson, Ike Quartey and Joshua Clottey at the international level.

Despite winning the bout, the Bukom-based boxer was denied the belt after the fight on grounds that he weighed more than the stipulated weight limit.

But Tagoe did not appear disturbed on arrival saying he had won more belts in boxing.
