In an interview with the GNA Sports, Mr. Abraham Kotei Neequaye, the President of the GBA says he expected another exciting competition this year as compared to last year.
He said season two would be more competitive taking into consideration the emergence of young and energetic boxers, whilst coaches have shown much seriousness ahead of the season.
He expressed his profound appreciation to the Premium Motors Ltd for the delivery of their promise to GBA.
He appealed to other companies to come on board to support Ghana Boxing championship as there were many rising boxers who should be encouraged to go up to the world ranks but lacked support.
He said, “to me, boxing is the best and number sport in Ghana, because Boxing has produced ten world champions, namely D. K. Poison, Azumah ‘Zoom Zoom’ Nelson aka Terrible Terror, Ike Bazooka Quartey, Marvelous Nana Yaw Konadu, Alfred Cobra Kotey, (late), Joshua Clottey, Joseph King Kong Agbeko, Emmanuel Tagoe the Game Boy, Richard Commey and Isaac Dogboe ‘The Royal Storm’.”
