Are you a fan of knockout victories? If the answer is yes, then Richard Commey might just be the boxer for you. The Ghanaian boxer has compiled an impressive professional record of 30-5-1 with 27 of those wins coming by way of knockout. Let's take a closer look at his career and see what makes him such an exciting fighter to watch.
Commey made his professional boxing debut in 2011 at the age of 23, defeating Baba Nsor via second-round TKO. He then went on a 24-fight win streak, with 21 of those wins coming by knockout. During this impressive run, Commey established himself as one of the most dangerous boxers in the lightweight division.
In 2016, Commey got his first shot at a world title when he faced Robert Easter Jr. for the IBF lightweight belt. Unfortunately for Commey, Easter Jr. proved to be a tough opponent, and he lost a close split decision after 12 rounds. Despite the defeat, Commey proved that he could hang with the best in the world, and he continued to work his way up the ranks in hopes of getting another shot at a title.
That shot came in 2019 when Commey faced off against Isa Chaniev for the IBF lightweight title. Commey wasted no time making his mark, stopping Chaniev in the second round to capture his first world title. Commey's reign as champion was short-lived as he was sidelined with a hand injury, but he made a triumphant return to the ring in June later that year when he defended his title against Ray Beltrán, winning the fight via eighth-round knockout.
While Commey has had plenty of success in his career, he has also faced setbacks. He has lost five fights in total, with two of those losses coming in world title fights. Despite these defeats, Commey remains one of the most feared punchers in the lightweight division, and he continues to work hard in hopes of securing another world title shot.
The world of boxing is full of dangerous punchers, but Richard Commey stands out as one of the most exciting. His impressive knockout record and entertaining fighting style have made him a fan favorite, and his determination to climb back to the top is sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats for years to come.
