Hon Alfred Kotey Ashie, MP for Odododiodoo Constituency in the Greater Accra Region is organising a Special Amateur and Juvenile Boxing Showdown at the famous Bukom Square Park to unearth talents for the National Boxing Teams.

In an exclusive interview with Hon. Kotey Ashie, he revealed that his constituency is the undisputed factory of Ghana Boxers; however every region or place can produce good boxers but Bukom is the center and prays that people should not bring politics or tribalism into boxing in particular and sports in general.

According to Hon. Ashie though the Greater Accra Region has produced most of the world champions for Ghana, they see themselves as Ghanaians first. He noted that the recent Freezy Macbones versus Jonathan Tetteh championship and fracas should not divide Ghanaians but rather unite and teach lessons, as the two boxers looked tired and should train on their stamina, while the promoters have raised the bar in quality shows organization.

He promised that boxers who perform exciting well would be rewarded with some fantastic Christmas presents,

He advised the young boxers to report on time and show discipline always.

Vice President of the Coaches Association, Carl Lokko said the new tournament is very good in the right direction as they do not have many events on their calenders as far as amateur boxing is concerned and commended the MP.

Meanwhile, Hon Ashie has also extended his warm greeting to the Ghana Boxing Federation as they go for elections on Saturday December 27 , 2025 and hopes that the best candidates would win to push Ghana Boxing forward as Africa hosts the next Youth Olympic Games in Senegal and the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, USA.

He congratulated the four young boxers who represented Ghana at the 2025 African Youth Games in Angola and all brought home medals.
