Gordon Frimpong of Osibor Boxing – From Supporter To Promoter, now aiming at world title
Mr. Gordon Frimpong, manager of new National Featherweight Boxing Champion, Stanley Nyantekyi aka the ‘Ashanti Warrior’ says their next target is Africa and Commonwealth, then the world. He congratulated his ward and all who supported the grand memorable event at SG Mall which was backed by the Asantehene in Kumasi.
The CEO of Osibor Promotions and Management Syndicate hinted that the chance is opening for something big but they will go gradually to the target which is the world title. He expressed that Nyantakyi is the new energy in Ghana Boxing. “Everyone is talking about him everywhere and we are moving to the next step and step by step to the dreamland” he said.
Mr. Frimpong, a young businessman who has been in Boxing for over 15 years is a founding member of the Ghana Boxing Supporters Union (GHABSU) before deciding to form the Osibor Promotions.
“It has not been easy, I am the only one, I need support to make it bigger and better, it’s the passion that has lead me to reach the national stage”
He appealed to companies and other organizations to support Sports, especially Osibor Boxing, because it is not easy to win and defend and maintain and go forward as a champion for bigger opportunities.
He thanked the coaches, seconds, cutmen, sparring partners, gym mates, managers and executives of the Bronx Boxing Gym.
He also hailed the President of the Ghana Boxing Authority GBA, Mr. Abraham Neequaye and the board for backing the organization of quality Boxing in the regions.
Osibor Promotions has enjoyed some assistance from coaches and match makers, but wants real serious sponsorship from corporate Ghana in his ambition to get the nation and Africa another world champion.
