The national male and female boxing teams have successfully landed in Dakar, Senegal after making a transit in Lome, Togo.

News reaching Yours Truly is that none of the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF) board members made the trip but the PRO is there together with experienced coaches Dr. Ofori Asare and Rashid Williams aka Believer.

The LOC of the tournament will take care of the accommodation and feeding of the participating countries.

The Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) gave the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF) $10,000 before they went for the tournament to qualify for Paris 2024.

Friends of Boxing and the Boxing Writers Associationof Ghana wish the teams well.
