Ahmed, who lost his maiden world title shot against Gilberto Ramirez in 2018, is bent on making it three consecutive victories when he engages a former world champion in Brant in a middleweight contest.
The Ghanaian, after his maiden defeat to Ramirez, returned with wins over Sunday Ajuwa and Juan De Angel and the January 11 bout provides him with an opportunity to end eight months of inactivity.
Having relocated to the United States of America to revive his career, Ahmed could land himself an opportunity to challenge for the world title by close of the year.
