President of the Ghana Olympic Committee, Ben Nunoo Mensah, has confirmed that Ghana’s Amateur Boxing Team, the Black Bombers, are on track to depart for Thailand on May 20 to participate in qualifiers for the 2024 Olympic Games.

In an exclusive interview with Citi Sports, Nunoo Mensah addressed recent controversies surrounding the team’s preparations for the event in France. He assured that the Ghanaian contingent is awaiting their visas and is prepared to embark on the journey to Thailand to compete for qualification to the Paris Olympics.

The Black Bombers’ participation in the qualifiers holds significant importance for Ghana, following the bronze medal victory by Samuel Takyi in the Men’s Featherweight Division at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
