Habada singled out Fuseini Issah, Ghana’s heavyweight champion, as a strong medal contender.
“Issah has been consistent, and we’re assured of a medal from him. I’m hoping he’ll bring home a gold medal.”
Alberta Tetteh and Princess Setordzi are also expected to shine, with Habda praising their skills and experience. “Alberta is an experienced wrestler, and I know she’s ready to pick a medal. Princess is new to the sport, but she’s picking up quickly, and we’re hoping she’ll surprise us.”
