He gave credit to the Nigerian boxers who dominated the female category, and noted that Ghana will shine at the Games.
“The Nigerians gave us a good run for our money, and it was a good training exercise, these are part of preparations for the Commonwealth and Olympic Games” he expressed.
The male boxers who represented Ghana were Ebenezer Ankrah, Desmond Pappoe, Abdul Wahid Omar, Amadu Mohammed and Khalid Abdul the only loser.
Some of the favourite boxers missing in action were George Dowuona, Mathias Ashitey and Precious Akai Nettey who went on an European tour with the Bukom Boxing Club.
The female boxers named The Black Hitters were Ramatu Quaye, Nancy Bamfo and Elizabeth Nartey.
The coaches are Dr. Ofori Asare, Charles Quartey, Daniel Lartekwei Lartey and Benjamin Tetteh.
