Richard Commey lost the International Boxing Federation (IBF) lightweight world title against Robert Easter Jr. on a split decision in a very close fight after Rances Barthelemy vacated the belt in order to move up in weight. Commey showing his excitement stated "I'm really excited to finally get my shot at the world title," Commey, 29, said at a news conference in Accra, Ghana. "I have been waiting too long and too many fighters have avoided me, but it seems like we are finally there. I would like to thank my promoter Team Sauerland for helping to get this opportunity, which I will take with both hands."[2]
