Sharaf Mahama is the CEO of Legacy Rise Sport
The Communication Director of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA), Mohammed Amin Lamptey, has said that the body is preparing a comprehensive report on some of the wrongs that happened during the “Battle of the Beasts” boxing event.
The event, which was organised by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Legacy Rise Sport, Sharaf Mahama, in collaboration with Amir Khan Promotion, saw American and Ghanaian boxers competing for titles in various divisions.
However, Lamptey has revealed that there were certain things that happened that could potentially breach boxing regulations.
Speaking in an interview with Benjamin Sackey of GhanaWeb Sports on June 18, 2025, the GBA Communication Director assured the public that they would make the report known as soon as possible.
“The last fight is something where things really went wrong. We wouldn’t want to put anything in the public domain for now. We want to come out with a comprehensive report on that fight so that Ghanaians understand where we are coming from,” he said.
He also noted that the association will organise a press conference to reveal details of the email the British Boxing Board of Control sent to them regarding Sharaf Mahama’s boxing event.
“So, for now, with regards to what the British Boxing Board of Control wrote to us, it is an email that they are trying to verify to take up with the Ghana Boxing Authority. I’ll give you the details later,” he added.
