The Western and Central Regional Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) chairman, Mr Twintoh Walker, has presented a copy of a boxing blueprint to the Western Regional Sports Committee (WRSC)

Accompanied by Mr Sidick Shardow, chairman of the Western Regional Ghana Boxing Federation, Mr Walker said the document captures several plans geared at making boxing a leading sport among the youth in the region, with the ultimate aim of producing a new generation of champions.

He said it will require support from philanthropists, private sector players as well as government, and, therefore, called on groups and individuals to support the event.

Receiving the document on behalf of the Chairman of the WRSC, Mr Wilson Arthur, DCE of Mpohor East District Assembly; Mr Charles Cobbinah, Special Aide of the Western Regional Minister assured Mr Walker that the document will be sent to the appropriate quarters to be acted upon.
