“I’m really pleased to fight out in Ghana,” said Azeez at a press conference on Tuesday. “It’s not just a celebration of my heritage, but it’s two South London boys who have been British champions, sparred together, came up as amateurs. He won the British, I won the British title, and we’re taking our rivalry back to the motherland. It’s a big, big thing. It marks a monumental point in our careers. The winner goes on to bigger and better things, and for the loser it could potentially be quits. I’m looking forward to it.”
