Will Power, Fit Square, Wisdom excel at Homowo Boxing Championship

Accra, Aug. 24, GNA - Will Power, Fit Square and Wisdom Gyms emerged the dominant forces during this year's Homowo Individual Championship.

The three gyms claimed two wins each as the curtain was drawn on the three-day competition on Saturday at the Prisons Canteen, Cantonments.

The event, organized by the Greater Accra Amateur Boxing Association (GAABA) was part of sporting activities to climax this year's Homowo Festival of the people of Ga Mashie.

The contest which began last Thursday, saw Will Powers' Benjamin Lamptey and Emmanuel Mensah as champions in the Light welterweight and Lightweight respectively.

Lamptey defeated Prince Parry of Bukom Gym via a unanimous decision whilst Mensah edged past fans favourite Michael Offei Dodoo, courtesy a split decision victory.

Duke Micah and Nii Ofoli Tetteh were the winners for Dansoman-based Fit Square Gym.

Micah had a walk-over after Jesse Lartey was declared medically unfit in a Flyweight contest while Tetteh beat Isaac Sackey of Attoh Quarshie Gym in a Featherweight clash.

For Wisdom Gym, Habib Mohamed and Giblim Ahmed defeated John Tiwonitaaba of Fit Square and Charles Azumah of Attoh Quarshie courtesy unanimous and split decision in the Welterweight and Middleweight divisions respectively.

Attoh Quarshie, who presented the highest number at the finals, four, found solace in Annan Ampiah's controversial spilt decision victory over Emmanuel Quartey of Fit Square in a Bantamweight clash. In the heavyweight, Maxwell Amponsah of Jah Bless maintained his unbeaten run with a majority decision win over Richard Harrison of Sonia Gym.

Each of the finalists was presented with certificates and hampers. About fifty boxers participated in the three-day championship.
