Dauda Fuseni and his board members on the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF) have been commended for organising the first national amateur boxing championship in six years, which attracted 145 boxers drawn from the north, west, east, and south of Ghana.
At the last championship held at the Accra Sports Stadium, fans caused mayhem and chaos, forcing the then organisers to be unable to continue.
Although Accra boxers dominated this year, it was an experience for boxers from Tamale, Cape Coast, Kumasi, and the Volta Region.
