General Secretary of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA), Patrick Johnson, has clarified that the Normalisation Committee overseeing reforms in Ghana boxing will not operate beyond 2026.
Speaking to Yours Truly in an exclusive interview, he explained that the Normalisation Committee is working hand-in-hand with the Ghana Boxing Authority to implement the recommendations of the Ministerial Committee.
The goal, he said, is to improve the sport at all levels, including juvenile, female, amateur, and professional boxing.
“The whole ecosystem of Ghana boxing is going to be positively transformed so that all stakeholders will benefit,” he said.
According to the General Secretary, the Normalisation Committee will introduce a five-year development plan, which will channel investment into the sport.
The plan also aims to attract deals for hosting international boxing events, including world title bouts and other engagements, to boost business and sports tourism in the country.
He urged all boxing stakeholders to support the work of the Normalisation Committee, to enable a smooth handover to a new president and board when their mandate ends.
