Powers calls for re-match

Boxer, Ayitey Powers is demanding a rematch
with Braimah Bukom Banku Kamoko after loss
to his long time rival.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show, Powers
said the weight difference was the swing factor
for Banku Kamoko.
“The weight difference was too much and that
was the problem for me.I could have decided
not to fight after he came in 8kilos overweight
but I felt I needed to respect the fans who had
bought tickets so i fought,” he said.
According to Powers If this fight had been in
Europe it would not have been allowed to
happen. ”I have told his camp already that I
want a rematch,” he reiterted.
Prior to the bout, Banku weighed 205 pounds,
exceeding the upper limit of 200 for the
cruiserweight division, while Powers, weighed
exactly 200 pounds.
It is unclear whether Banku will accept the
challenge of a rematch after signing a deal to
face a Russian opponent on May 30.
Ayittey Powers also cautioned Ghanaians not
to link his defeat to directions he received
from his Godfather, Prophet T.B Joshua not to
fight.
”He is my prophet; why are people saying that.
You should leave him [T.B Joshua] out,” he
said.
