Ghana’s professional boxing scene is back, baby! After a temporary ban, the National Sports Authority (NSA) has given the green light for pro boxing to resume, thanks to extensive reforms. The Ghana Boxing Interim Management Committee has worked tirelessly to implement new safety measures, prioritizing fighter well-being.
Key Reforms:
– Enhanced Medical Screenings: Rigorous pre- and post-fight medical checks to detect potential health risks
– Centralized Medical Database: Tracking athlete health records for better monitoring
– Insurance Program: Financial security for boxers in case of injuries or accidents
– Interim Medical Commission: Dedicated team overseeing medical aspects of the sport
– Safer Competition Environment: Certified ringside staff and medical personnel
The NSA and Ghana Boxing Authority are committed to restoring Ghana’s boxing heritage, making it safer and more professional. Boxing legends like Azumah Nelson are on board, serving as Vice Chairman of the Interim Management Committee.
