The Chief Executive Officer of Box Office Promotions, Alex Ntiamoah, has cautioned that stakeholders in Ghanaian boxing could head to court if due process is not followed in legitimising the newly inaugurated Interim Management Committee (IMC).
Sports Minister Kofi Adams officially inaugurated the IMC on Monday, 29 September 2025, with a mandate to oversee professional boxing and implement key reforms. These reforms include new medical protocols, the creation of a Medical Commission, and stricter doping controls in collaboration with the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA).
But Ntiamoah insists the appointment process undermines the constitution of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA).
“The IMC taking on the mandate of running professional boxing in Ghana is inconsistent with the GBA constitution. If the authority does not listen to us, we may go to court,” he told JoySports.
He clarified that stakeholders are not necessarily opposed to the individuals on the committee but rather the procedure used to appoint them.
“If they could rectify things and sit with us, then we can go to congress for congress to endorse these people. That way, it is clear that congress has the power to bring people on board to manage the GBA,” Ntiamoah added.
The IMC was set up in response to recent challenges facing the sport, including the tragic death of Nigerian boxer Gabriel Oluwasegun Olanrewaju earlier this year, and that of Ghanaian boxer Bahubali, which prompted calls for sweeping reforms to ensure safety and accountability.
