Accra, July 15, GNA – The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) will now allow Ghanaian boxers to compete in the United Kingdom.
The BBBofC stated in March 2022 that they would not consider applications from Ghanaian boxers wishing to compete in British Boxing events.
This they explained was due to the licensing and authorization issues with the Ghana Boxing Authority.
But the BBBofC on Thursday issued a statement that they have resolved the licencing issue with the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) and would permit Ghanaian boxers to compete.
“Following the memorandum of 18th March 2022, please be advised that Ghanaian Boxers are permitted to compete in the UK as of Monday, July 18th, July 2022.
“Working closely with the GBA, BBBofC are permitting the participation of Ghanaian boxers in the UK subject to some conditions,” the statement said.
The BBBofC in its conditions said they would not accept any medical documentation from promoters, matchmakers, or any third party but would deal with the GBA.
It urged the GBA to provide all travel documentation with regard to boxers who intend to compete in the UK.
