The national youth boxing team of Ghana, the Black Rockets,  has been invited to take part in the International Boxing Association (IBA) Youth World competition in Montenegro.

  The Black Rockets are expected to leave Accra for Budva, on October 18, 2024, to continue preparations for the championship.

  According to the leader of the team, Mr. Fuseni Dauda, who is Vice President of the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF), the national team, under the guidance of Coach Charles Quartey, is eager to lift the flag of Ghana high at the competition.

  He emphasised that the new Black Rockets must be tested, tried, and exposed to get the necessary exposure and experience.

Alhaji Dauda noted that the six boxers were already self-motivated, but required the government’s assistance to feel secure and confident in their ability to give their all and win the ultimate prize.

  “Our game is about to rise again; we will take Ghana Boxing to the next level,” he assured.

  Coach Charles Quartey stated that the new-look Black Bombers were being prepared for the next Olympic Games and should be supported by the government to gain exposure.
Mr. Mustapha Nettey, Treasurer of the GBF, praised BOXUP for their contribution to Black Bomber preparations and expressed his gratitude for the assistance.

  “We really appreciate what Dr. Philip Addison has done, and he will be remembered and blessed for ever, because we have been looking for such support for a long time, and we know with his support we can go very far,” he said.

  The IBA Youth World International Boxing Tournament is from October 20 to November 3, 2024.
