Richard Commey confirms Connolly as co-manager

IBF Lightweight Champion Richard Commey has confirmed the inclusion of renowned American boxing manager Keith Connolly to his management team.

This comes a few hours after the Ghanaian denied reports suggesting the said appointment.

The 31-year-old took to his official Twitter handle to confirm the news, with Connolly set to work alongside Commey’s longtime manager Michael Amoo-Bediako.

Connolly also manages Daniel Jacobs, Adam Kownacki, Sergey Derevyanchenko and Marcus Brown.

Commey was slated to fight unified champion Vasyl Lomachenko in April before suffering a hand injury in his title-clinching bout against Russian Isa Chaniev back in February.

I am really excited to announce that Keith Connolly will now be working alongside my long time manager @Mickey_Moo to take my career to the next level, everyone knows Keith’s expertise and together they will for a formidable team ????????????????@danrafaelespn @MikeCoppinger @StevESPNKim
