Prince Dornu who operates the popular ‘Dornu’s Corner’ on Social Media also hailed the boxers and their trainers for showing up with marvelous performances.
According to General One who is founder of the Boxing Writers Association of Ghana (BWAG), it is the motivation of winning fantastic prizes as well as media hype that inspires the boxers to put up great display.
He also commended the referees and judges for fair officiating, by sometimes saving boxers in trouble.
