In an interview Head Trainer Mensah Andrew said they hope to make amends this time around after losing the first fight last month.
“I was not with him in the UK when he lost the last fight but this time I hope to be part of the team and we are assured of a better performance.
“Djarbeng would come home with positive results. We have trained hard over the last few weeks and hope to win the fight,” he added.
