Joshua Clottey Poised to Cement Legacy with Win Against Prince Patel
The boxing world is buzzing with excitement as former IBF welterweight champion, Joshua Clottey, gears up for what could potentially be his final dance in the ring. The Ghanaian warrior, aged 47, has set his sights on a showdown with the relentless Prince Patel in March next year.
Clottey, boasting a record of 41-5 (24 KOs), is no stranger to the thrill of battle, having last traded blows with Azizi Mponda back in 2019. Eager to silence the calls of the 31-year-old British-born Patel, Clottey is ready to lace up his gloves one more time. The stage is set for a clash of titans, with Box Office Sports Promotions stepping in to promote the showdown.
In a fiery declaration, Clottey stated, "I'm not retired and I'm not in boxing either. I want to fight him if only he's ready to challenge me like he's been doing anytime he has a fight in Ghana." The veteran fighter is determined to prove a point to his younger adversary, showcasing that age is just a number in the world of boxing.
On the other side of the ring, Patel (32-1-2, 26 KOs) has been making waves with his performances in Ghana since his debut in 2021. With victories over notable opponents like Goodluck Mrema, Aliu Bamidele Lasisi, Benjamin Ashley, and Maxwell Awuku, Patel is hungry for more challenges, and Clottey seems to be next on his hit list.
As the anticipation builds for this epic showdown, fans are left wondering if Clottey's decision to step back into the ring stems from a yearning for the sport. When questioned, Clottey responded, "This might be my last fight but I don't miss boxing. Nothing will ever make me miss boxing."
The boxing world eagerly awaits the clash between these two formidable fighters, as Clottey and Patel gear up to leave it all in the ring. It's a battle of experience versus youth, determination versus hunger, and only time will tell who will emerge victorious in this epic showdown.
