Undefeated bantamweight prospect Duke Micah has won the vacant British Commonwealth title after beating Matthew Chanda (7-1, 2 KO’s) at York Hall in Bethnal Green in London.

For Micah, the victory represents another step in his quest to hoist a world title.

The stoic 25-year-old has been touted for greatness since his early teens, beating a who’s who of local fighters in his native Ghana before representing the country at the 2012 Olympics.

And after annexing the WBO Africa bantamweight title in Accra in 2014, he has defended it twice and this has kept him in the top 15 rankings of the WBO with his 13th place.
