"I have the full support of the AMA boss and we are already planning to build a boxing arena which we already have the land. There are also some very good friends with big companies who are all willing to come on board.
"This is the time for Ghana boxing to rise up and shine, we need more world champions and that is just what my administration will deliver," Wallace Nii Tackie-Komme has promised.
