Richard Commey will clash in an exciting lightweight bout against Vasyl Lomachenko in the upcoming boxing event. That said, here are some interesting facts about the Ghanian boxer.
Commey grew up in Bukom, a coastal fishing town on the outskirts of Ghana's capital city, Accra. He belongs to a fishers tribe. He lived his earlier life under the poverty line.
Commey's biggest supporter and teacher, Joyce Florence, was a single parent who traded perishable items at the market to support her son. However, it would barely cover the necessities. As a result, he didn’t go to school or receive an education.
Besides International Boxing Federation (IBF), the Ghanian has won several regional titles, including the Ghanaian title, the ABU title, and the Commonwealth title.
Commey majorly takes part in giving back to the youth of his country. He and his manager, who founded Streetwise Foundation, appointed him as its global ambassador. The two constantly donate boxing equipment to gyms in Ghana.
