Tagoe first won the vacant WBA International lightweight title in 2012 with a majority decision victory over George Ashie. In his next, fight five months later, he won the vacant WBA International super featherweight title by majority decision over Ronald Pontillas.
In his last fight, “The Game Boy” captured the vacant WBA International lightweight title for a second time by scoring n eye-popping a fourth round TKO over Joebert Delos Reyes.
Kamote is a former Tanzanian bantamweight champion, but has lost two of his last five fights by early stoppage.
