I have watched the federation from afar for long and I come to realize that, sometimes you need to be on the round table to be able to get your message and plans across and finally I am here.
I wanted to race for the 2nd vice presidential position because I have a lot to give to the federation and now that I have been given the opportunity I will ensure amateur boxers are properly captured together with my President and 1st Vice. I have been a boxing match maker for years and I know what I can do when it comes to amateur boxing.
- Our amateur boxers are active and not only when they have to train for competitions
- Our amateur boxers are given the opportunity to add formal education to the boxing
- Together with the other leadership, we will bring all boxing gyms who continually produce amateur boxers for Ghana together to understand how to transition amateur boxers when they intend to go pro.”
