Nii Gonti Adjor 1, aka Nii Adama Add, has been co-opted onto the reconstituted board of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA). He is the owner of The Gym and a former trainer of Joseph Agbeko.
Dr. Eric Tetteh and Lawyer Sam Laryea have also been named to the board following the withdrawal of John Marfo.
Meanwhile, Alhaji Zaid has also been named to head the Security Desk, while Andy Nortey, Sammy Heywood Oki,,ne and Prince Dornu Leiku handle the Public Relations / Communications Desk.
Ag President Roger Barnor hinted that plans are in the pipeline to hold the Extraordinary Congress on July 19, which the National Sports Authority (NSA) has not barred from taking place.
