“Honestly speaking I’m not scared of him but why would I challenge a fellow Ghanaian? We want more world champions in this country,” Commey told Joy Sports.
He added that Tagoe “spars little amateur boys when preparing for his fights”.
Commey also pointed out the huge investments made by Black Stars skipper Asamoah Gyan’s Baby Jet Promotions, handlers of Tagoe, in a bid to annex a world title.
“Asamoah Gyan has invested a lot for him to get a world title but where is it (world title)? Has he got anything like this?”
