Ayitey 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.

Banku wins Judgement day bout

Braimah “Bukom Banku” Kamoko won a 12-round unanimous decision over rival Ayittey Powers on Thursday to run his perfect record to 27-0 in a
non-title “Judgement Day” bout.

The 34-year-old Bukom based boxer won after the three judges scored the bout 117-109, 119-100 and 120-108.

Powers started the bout on a strong note but soon began to lose momentum in the bout as he failed to follow up on the punches that forced Banku
open.

Bukom Banku got into his groove in the second round and  dictated the pace with a flurry of punches with Powers going on the defensive.

For the rest of the bout, Banku went after Powers and landed most of the power punches mostly due to his punching combinations and movement.

The boxer surprised the fans with his skillful boxing techniques and even had time to toy with the tired Powers who could not keep up with the
flow of punches.

Braimah Kamoko improves his record to 27-0 while Ayitey Powers drops to 18-24-1.
