USA based former boxer Emmanuel Addo aka Mosquito has instituted a special tournament to involve four boxers each in four different weight categories bouts in honour of four past boxing coaches in Accra.

Speaking on on The Big Fight Night on Omashi TV, Addo a former boxer who is now a trainer and promoter said he instituted a title belt in honour and memory of four top coaches, the late Godwin Nii Dzanie Kotey aka Alloway of Attoh Quarshie Boxing Club, Jones Hammond of Square Deal Boxing Club, Emmanuel Lamptey aka Akise of Black Panthers Boxing Gym and Napoleon Ayaa Tagoe of Will Power Gym.

He noted that four titles will be at stake for four weight categories, and the winners to be rewarded after losers are eliminated.

He said the bouts would be held after suspension on Ghana Boxing  has been lifted at Bukom Boxing Arena.

He announced that the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II is special patron of the titles designed by the World Boxing Council (WBC).

Meanwhile, Emmanuel Addo has shelves plans to become President of Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA). He claimed no one is following him, and the stakeholders do not understand the business of boxing.

“Boxing is strictly business, B for Boxing, B for Business but our people do not understand and most of the local promoters don’t have big money to invest in the game, so we have a long way to go in Africa” he said.

Many respected people don’t speak well about our sport and I am very much disappointed: he said.

He stressed that it is unlawful for the Minister of Sports & Recreation and the National Sports Authority (NSA) to suspend boxing because someone died.

“That is corruption” he expressed
