    The Communications Director of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA), Mohammed Amin Lamptey, has confirmed that the Ghana Boxing League will continue despite the tragic demise of Nigerian boxer Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju during a bout.

    According to him, although the misfortune has brought sadness to the entire sporting fraternity in the country, it is not enough to warrant the suspension of the league.

    The communications director likened the situation to how the accidental death of someone while performing their duties would not halt operations for other colleagues in the field.

    Speaking in an interview with Citi Sports, Lamptey clarified that the GBA does not intend to suspend the boxing league and will continue as scheduled.

    “It’s normal. It’s just like you and I are journalists. So, if today a colleague of ours has gone to cover an event and coincidentally or accidentally the person got injured and died in the process. Must we also say that we aren’t going to practice journalism again? I don’t think so,” he said.

    Gabriel Oluwasegun collapsed during a bout against Ghana’s John Mbanugu on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at the Bukom Boxing Arena and was later pronounced dead at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

    The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has stated that the government will set up a committee to investigate the circumstances that led to the incident to ensure justice is served.
