midst the glory of Samuel Takyi’s bronze win at Tokyo 2020, Ghana Boxing’s journey to Paris 2024 has faced hurdles. However, the seven medal-winning Black Bombers from the 13th African Games have demonstrated their potential and must capitalize on this final opportunity in Bangkok to secure their spots.
The quartet of Samuel Takyi, Mohammed Aryeetey, Amadu Mohammed, and Joseph Commey, along with Abu Kamoko, Theophilus Allotey, and Janet Acquah, have proven their mettle. It’s imperative they participate in the upcoming event in Thailand, slated between May 23 and June 3, 2024, as this could be Ghana’s ticket to Paris 2024.
Boxing is set to be fiercely competitive at the 2024 Olympics, making qualification paramount. The qualification process, spanning various continents, offers three pathways for national federations to secure spots for their athletes in Paris. Notably, the recent World Olympic Boxing Qualifier in Italy saw 49 quotas awarded, with 51 more up for grabs in Bangkok.
With this crucial opportunity ahead, the Black Bombers must prepare diligently, drawing from their past successes and experiences. Their journey to Paris 2024 hangs in the balance, and every effort must be made to ensure their presence on the Olympic stage once again.
