The President of the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF), Bernard Quartey, is super excited about the future of boxing in Ghana! He recently shared some great news about three young boxers who really shined at the 2025 African Youth Boxing Championship. These talented athletes, known as the Black Rockets, brought home gold medals from the competition held in Conakry, Guinea.
The three young stars are Gideon Pappoe, George Dowuona, and Mathias Ashitey. They worked really hard and showed everyone what they can do in the ring. Their amazing performances made their country proud!
After their big win, Mr. Quartey made a promise. He said that the Federation is dedicated to helping these young boxers grow and succeed. They want to make sure that Gideon, George, and Mathias get the best training possible so they can join Ghana’s national boxing team, the Black Bombers.
“We are going to make sure that they train very hard up to the national level,” he said. “We believe in their potential and will do everything in our power to support their growth into top-level athletes.”
Mr. Quartey also mentioned that this victory is just the beginning for these young athletes. The GBF is focused on helping them develop their skills over the long term. The ultimate goal is to see them win medals for Ghana on the international stage. With such strong support and dedication, the future of boxing in Ghana looks really bright!
