The deal could also include staging boxing events in Ghana with collaboration with Hwang Hyun Ki, the president of Asia Kickboxing Federation and owner of Team RSC Boxing Promotions.

Meanwhile, Hyung Byung Hun, the president of the Korean Professional Boxing Federation, has assured a free venue for a boxing promotion in Korea and possible shots at Pan Asian Boxing Association (PABA) belts for Ghanaian boxers

Meanwhile, a group of Korean investors led by Jang Woo Lee, manager of Ice Tube, are expected in Ghana to finalise an agreement for a boxing promotion in Ghana as well as inspect the proposed site for the Gh Bosslink boxing gym
