Renowned former Ghanaian boxer and accomplished boxing trainer, Mr. Charles Quartey, who also serves as the leader of the Ghana boxing youth team known as the Black Rockets, is putting forth his candidacy for the presidency of the United Boxing Coaches Association of Ghana.

With a substantial track record of contributions to the boxing landscape in Ghana and beyond, Charles Quartey, who is also the owner of the Charles Quartey Boxing Foundation, seeks to lead the association with the goal of elevating the standards for coaches. Notably, his foundation secured victory in the Ghana Professional Boxing League last season and was poised to continue its success in the halted second edition.

Charles Quartey’s aspiration to head the United Boxing Coaches Association stems from his desire to address the challenges faced by coaches, where unfair treatment and lack of support often go unaddressed. He envisions a more inclusive decision-making process, emphasizing that every coach should have a voice, and decisions should not be one-sided based solely on the association’s directives.

Furthermore, Quartey’s primary focus is on collaborating with young coaches, aiming to build a united front within the association. He believes that by working together, they can elevate Ghana’s boxing scene to new heights, fostering unity among coaches and reigniting a passion for the sport.

In a conversation with Augustus Dodoo over the phone, Charles Quartey expressed his commitment to bringing positive change to the United Boxing Coaches Association and revitalizing the love for boxing among all stakeholders.
