Ivan Bruce Cudjoe files documents to contest Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) Presidency
Mr. Ivan Bruce Cudjoe aka (IBC) a travel consultant and businessman on Tuesday filed his documents to the Interim Management Committee of the GBA to contest in the upcoming Congress and Elections fixed for June 4, 2026 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
After presenting his papers, he engaged the media who asked him a few questions.
According to Mr. Bruce Cudjoe he decided to contest because the time is ripe for him and he wants to ensure that there is some amount of transparency in governance and discipline in Ghana Boxing.
He also wants to spread boxing to all the 16 regions of Ghana because there are hidden talents who must be exposed and supported to become stars.
He promised to put the term ‘Atsiagbeshie’ in its right perspective as there are journeymen in boxing but they must offer fans a good show and not what is currently happening when Ghanaian boxers go out and lose after first two rounds.
He promised an open administration where everyone will benefit and enjoy good boxing administration.
He also promised to support retired boxers and coaches to be employed by the National Sports Authority to scout for amateur boxers who can become future professional champions.
He assured National title holders of automatic opportunity to fight for the Commonwealth title and also create chances for Ghana to be represented at contentions of the world boxing bodies like WBC, IBF, WBO and WBA for Ghanaian boxers to be in world ratings and fight for the world titles.
His presence with a few fans clad in hisctee shirt cheering him brought fear in his opponent, Rabbon Dodoo as he and his supporters watched in panic.
Meanwhile Mr. Ellis Quaye, a partner of Cabic Promotions has also filed for the position of Second Vice President.
Other candidates vying for various positions were at the stadium to present their papers.
In another development the IMC of the GBA is organising a stakeholders meeting on Wednesday May 20 to engage them on how to stage a few and fair elections.
