Theophilus Kpakpo Allotey of Ghana aka Theo Lopez is Ghana’s only hope in boxing at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
The Flyweight -51kg won 5-0 unanimously against Bhuntan opponent Tashi Wangdi to advance to the quarterfinal stage of the ongoing WQT Boxing Road to Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Boxing Road to Paris qualifiers underway in Busto Arsizio, Italy.
Allotey is a product of the Wisdom Gym owned by Coach Dr. Ofori Asare.
He was the lone medalist at the African qualifiers in Dakar, Senegal, but his bronze could not help him. He is hopeful on making it on the bigger stage.
