Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) President Abraham Kotei Neequaye has promised all boxing stakeholders that there will be clean, free, and fair elections on July 12, 2025, in Accra.
He guaranteed that no contestant should be afraid because the essence of the congress is about accountability, and he will render the accounts of the GBA on the same day.
According to him, the GBA lacks sufficient funds to hold a separate Extraordinary Congress and election congress, so everything will be done on the same day.
“I have nothing to hide, and I know I’ve done a lot for Ghana Boxing. I’m not afraid of my competitors. I’m a politician, and I know what it takes to win or lose elections, so I know what’s right,” he said In an exclusive interview with Yours Truly.
He assured that no contestant will be disqualified, contrary to allegations that he would do so.
“I want everyone to contest. I know I’m very popular and will win hands down. People are making me popular by saying negative things, but that’s politics, and I love what’s going on,” he added.
Neequaye highlighted the many good things he has done for Ghana Boxing, including the Boxing League, where boxers and clubs have benefited from brand new cars, insurance for boxers, renovation of the GBA office, transparency, and accountability in the game and administration, and making the sport attractive.
He acknowledged that, as humans, there may be one or two mistakes or problems with security and crowd violence, which he always preaches against.
Meanwhile, the GBA has issued a rejoinder to a statement by the Committee for Professional Boxing Stakeholders (CPBS).
The GBA president said their attention has been drawn to a publication regarding a purported boycott of the upcoming congress and elections.
He noted that the GBA remains committed to its obligations and is open to discussions with stakeholders.
