Braimah �Bukom Banku� Kamoko has said in an exclusive interview he will no longer face long time rival Michael Ayitey Powers on May 16. The much anticipated bout has been blighted by Powers� refusal to sign a contract obliging him to face Banku after a prophecy from his spiritual advisor T.B Joshua. There have been two postponements of the fight already with the latest happening on the April 7 when Powers again refused to sign the contract. �I am tired of this nonsense. What kind of fight is this? I will not face Ayitey Powers again on the 16th. The promoter is bringing a new opponent for me� a furious Kamoko told Allsports.com.gh in the interview. In a related development,the promoter of the fight, Alex Ntiamoah Boateng of Box Office Promotions also confirmed the search for a new opponent. �I have two opponents locked down and we will announce on Monday the identity of this new opponent.� Ntiamoah Boateng also responded to reports that Powers was holding up the fight in search of a larger chunk of the purse. �He signed a contract and the new amount he is asking for is impossible. Where does he expect me to get that kind of money from?He appended his name t a contract which allowed for him to earn GHS20,000.
