National amateur boxer, Desmond Pappoe feels proud to be nominated by the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) for the Boxer of the Year 2025.

In an exclusive interview with Yours Truly, the Jamestown based boxer who won gold medal at the African Youth Boxing Championship in Conakry Guinea said he has more to offer if he is given the opportunity.

"I didn't start early like 4 or 5 years but came in at 12 years and I think it has been good so far. I am learning very fast, I have been encouraged and highly motivated, I trust my coach and we are on track" he said.

Desmond Pappoe noted that boxing is a whole life, culture and science and school on its own and he had gathered a lot since associating himself with the sport.

He trains at the Jamestown Boxing Gym under Coach Randy.

James Town Gym is a club of young boxers who aspire for greatness.
