<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cFor a nation that has produced ten world champions to have boxers suffer is not a good thing, we have to produce more world champions\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addo who was a former boxer at Bukom said it is sad for Isaac Dogboe to lose after he got the opportunities to fight for the WBO titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also showed concern why super middleweight, Sena Agbeko was deprived the chance of fighting for the WBA title by the Nevada Athletics Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another issue that worries him is why Ghana\u2019s ex champions are not helping the up and coming boxers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have people like Prof. Azumah Nelson and Ike Bazooka Quartey who can help the young boxers but they are not and it worries me\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addo who fought as an amateur and ventured into professional boxing later became a trainer as well as promoter, administrator \/ manager and ring announcer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI love boxing because that is what I learnt as a kid and grew up with it. In my area in Accra, Bukom, all that we know and do is boxing but most of the young guys find it difficult to rise to the top, into the world ranks, and that is where I want to support\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He commended ex world champions like Oscar De La Hoya and Lomachenko who are supporting young boxers with promotions and training, and urged Ghanaian heroes to do likewise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On local boxing promotions, he was not enthused with the Imax Boxing Promotions Boxing League, because he feels it is not affecting everyone in the game, and thinks other promoters have been sidelined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnce it is called the Ghana Professional Boxing League, I don\u2019t think one promoter should control, I think all the promoters must contribute\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He questioned why of late Ghanaians are not interested in fighting for the Commonwealth title as it is another platform to gain exposure and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also urged the sports media to work hard to promote Ghana Boxing as only a few journalists are into boxing, and majority in football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also expressed concern about amateur boxing and advised young boxers not to rush in turning professional, but learn the rudiments and tricks in the game before joining the paid ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
