The experience Coach who has won medals for Ghana in 3 consecutive Commonwealth games advise that Africa Boxing Confederation must organise tournaments to prepare our boxers, as well as Zonal and National Heads, this will lead to the development of the sport as well as the rising of world class female boxers who can represent Africa and win medals at future world championships for their countries.
