Boxing: Emmanuel Tagoe beats George Ashie

Boxer Emmanuel Tagoe, who is trained by legend Azumah Nelson defeated his long-time rival George Ashie to win the WBA International lightweight title.

The bout staged at the Accra Sports Stadium which headlined Asamoah Gyan's maiden boxing promotion, saw Ashie approach with more aggression early in the bout.

But Tagoe, popularly known as the Game Boy, later warmed himself into the bout and was able to counter with his speed.

Eventually the score-cards read 114-114, 113-115 and 112-116 in Tagoe's favour.

In other bouts, Raymond Commey won the West African and National super bantamweight title after defeating Emmanuel Quartey, while Abraham Osei Bonsu defeated Michael Pappoe in a featherweight contest.
