In my area in Accra, Bukom, all that we know and do is boxing but most of the young guys find it difficult to rise to the top, into the world ranks, and that is where I want to support\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>He commended ex world champions like Oscar De La Hoya and Lomachenko who are supporting young boxers with promotions and training, and urged Ghanaian heroes to do likewise.<\/p>\n<p>On local boxing promotions, he was not enthused with the Imax Boxing Promotions Boxing League, because he feels it is not affecting everyone in the game, and thinks other promoters have been sidelined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce it is called the Ghana Professional Boxing League, I don\u2019t think one promoter should control, I think all the promoters must contribute\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n<p>He questioned why of late Ghanaians are not interested in fighting for the Commonwealth title as it is another platform to gain exposure and experience.<\/p>\n<p>He also urged the sports media to work hard to promote Ghana Boxing as only a few journalists are into boxing, and majority in football.<\/p>\n<p>He also expressed concern about amateur boxing and advised young boxers not to rush in turning professional, but learn the rudiments and tricks in the game before joining the paid ranks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/ghana\">Ghana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
