The weekend edition of the Graphic Sports says "Police save Ouattara from wrath of hearts fans in Kumasi" The story have it that securitymen in Kumasi last Wednesday rescued Coach Abubakar Ouattara, the man at the centre of the Yaw Sakyi transfer drama, from being lynched by irate supporters of Accra Hearts of Oak.
It said the Police from the Regional Police Headquarters in Kumasi came to the timely rescue of the Coach when the two parties involved in the scandal were invited by the Police to a discussion.
The discussions held at the instance of the Regional Police Commander turned out to be full of fireworks with emotions reaching dizzy heights. According to the story the tension was such that Harry Zakkour and Ouattara were close to exchanging blows. This led to the postponement of interrogation to February 3.
"Azumah made boxing Ambassador" is a second story on the front-page of the Graphic Sports. The story has it that the World Boxing Council (WBC) last Wednesday added one more badge to Boxing Professor Azumah Nelson's amazing collections, naming him "World Champion Ambassador of Boxing for Africa"
The story quotes a world-wide message circulated from Mexico by WBC President, Jose Sulaiman, in which the world sanctioning body said it would supplement efforts towards the building of a fitting boxing gymnasium in Accra to immortalise the memory of Azumah Nelson.
The announcement came a month after the council had decorated Azumah in South Africa with a proclamation as the Greatest African boxer of all time.
