Major and Latest Boxing news in Ghana

Grantson is seeking to be elected as an executive member of the incoming board when delegates converge in Accra on Thursday, March 14, 2013.

He bids for the position on a profile that includes serving as the first secretary of the Central Region Boxing Association and then the vice chairman of the association, before becoming the head of the professional wing.

“I was encouraged into boxing earlier on by the personality of Twintoh Walker, a philanthropist who was equally driven by passion for the sport. Today, he feels frustrated because of the lack of support and the neglect of the other regions,” he told Graphic Sports in an interview.

But the youngman who said he had been part of a team that has built eight gyms for eight districts in the region, said “the vision is to expand and extend facilities to all the districts in the region since talent may abound elsewhere”.

He said his 12 years of involvement in boxing administration in the Central Region had prepared him well for a position on the national body.
