Azumah Nelson
Boxing legend
Azumah Nelson is worried about Ghana’s overconcentration on football to the
detriment of other disciplines, particularly boxing.
Consequently, he
has asked government to invest more in boxing which has the huge potential to
produce more of his kind.
To the former
three-weight world champion, it is the responsibility of government to provide
the platform for the youth to exhibit their various sporting talents.
In a pre-final
Bukom Fist of Fury boxers unveiling press conference yesterday, he stated that
the country would fail if it fails to invest in the youth by way of
infrastructure and policies.
Prof. Nelson said
Ghanaian boxers have the natural strength and intelligence to become the best
in the sport if they receive the needed support.
The ‘Terrible
Terror’ added, “Ghana is not only about football and government must put in
place measures to support the development of the numerous talents in the
country to become world champions.”
“We need to revisit our approach towards boxing, so the young talents could make the nation proud,” he indicated.
