Samini stands between Joseph Agbeko And Luis Melendez

A rare honour done him, the Dancehall artiste will be performing at the Accra Sports Stadium tonight to usher in the main fight of the night between Joseph ‘KingKong’ Agbeko and Colombian Luis Melendez, for the vacant International Boxing Organisation (IBO) Bantamweight title.

Samini gets to perform courtesy an invitation from the Ghana Boxing Authority and the organizers. That is a big deal, and one Samini is excited about.

“Am #honoured to be chosen by @Kingkong4real & the whole #GBA to sing the #GhanaNationalAnthem tomorrow @ #AccraSportsStadium,” Samini tweeted yesterday.

Agbeko is expected to win the bout today Friday March 22, 2013 which coincidentally is taking place on his birthday. This would boost his career, that hasn't been all that buoyant for some time now.

Joseph “King Kong” Agbeko is returning to the ring for the first time after losing a rematch against Abner Mares in December 2011 in a bout that broke the heart of Ghanaians.

The former world boxing champions will tonight have showdown with Lius Melendez of Colombia for the IBO Bantamweight belt in Accra and what a birthday gift it would be if he wins tonight.

Tickets for this international bout is selling for GH¢10 (popular stand) and GH¢50 for Ringside.
