This fight marks his first since signing a new 3-year deal with his longtime manager, Anthony Kermah, in February. Miledzi will be facing the veteran John Akurugo in a light heavyweight 10-rounder on the undercard of the ‘Salafest Fight Night’ presented by Wisdom Boxing Promotions at Decathlon Kawukudi near Nima in Accra on Saturday, 13 April.
