The Ghana Olympic Committee President, Mr. Ben Nunoo Mensah, has explained why he thinks Ghana’s boxers failed to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
In an interview with Kwabena Yeboah, President of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG), on GTV Sports+, Mr. Ben Nunoo Mensah shared his thoughts on why Ghana failed to qualify boxers for the Olympics.
“I think it has to do with the discipline of our boxers. If it were us, these young boys, kept in camp somewhere, checking on their discipline, their behavior, and their schedule, I am sure we would have made a lot of difference”.
“These are guys coming from a community like Bukom, and there is a lot of vibrancy you always want to show up in every evening in one spot or another, so despite all the vigorous training they had during the day, I haven’t been too comfortable with the kind of life they have.”
“Until we get to the level where we can monitor and check how these boxers behave away from training, we are going to have a lot of problems, especially among boxers coming from that community.”
