    Who will give Ghana amateur boxing to indisciplined Ike Quartey. Go enjoy your millions and leave amateur boxing to rot. It will still be better without you. By the way who do you take advise from. ask yourself.

    Go way u there, Ike Quartey !. U will be appointed coach for ' immature fighting'. Fool. U don't respect, so we don't want u to coach anybody. Enjoy ur money and live well and die when u are 200 years old. Nonsense

  • Kofi kwateng 9 years ago

    If he is the same person that we know,then I wouldn't advise to be given any such responsibility.He needs a lot of attitude adjustment.
