Gifty Naa Darkua Dodoo, Public
Relations Officer of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) has warned trouble makers
to stay away from the big fight coming up at the Accra Sports Stadium on May 16,
2014 between Braimah Kamoko and Ayitey Powers.
Speaking to yours truly in an
exclusive interview on security and publicity for the fight dubbed “Judgement
Night” she praised the media for the publicity and urged them to do more as the
date gets closer.
She said the Ghanaian Sports Press
had done very well to popularize the fight and expressed the gratitude of the
GBA, because the fight has sold Ghana Boxing and many doors would be open to
Ghanaian boxers and promoters if the two boxers put up a classic show.
According to Naa Darkua, the
promoters, Box Office have done enough to put up very tight security
arrangements for the guests and patrons who will watch from the ring side and
popular stand.
She commended Alex Ntiamoah for his
boldness and courage to fix the bout despite all the odds and assured him of
the fullest support from the GBA.
She urged members of the Media /
Publicity Commmittee of the GBA to contribute to the success of the fight and
all other events concerning boxing in Ghana.
The energetic sports presenter and
producer at Rainbow Radio said the sporting public has a great role to play to
make the big fight interesting and a sell out if they comport themselves very
maturely on the day of the fight.
“The Promoters are working on tight
security and we will not tolerate any negative attitudes for this fight. We are
selling the fight to over 50 nations in Africa by SuperSport and TV3 to
Ghanaians, so we want a neat image. This fight should be the lead to better
boxing promotions in Ghana” she added.
Meanwhile, the promoters are working
very hard to offer boxing fans mouth watering supporting bout.
