A team of six Ghanaian boxers, consisting of five men from the Black Bombers and one woman from the Black Hitters, has arrived in Bangkok, Thailand, to compete in this month’s Paris 2024 Boxing Olympic Qualifier. The delegation is led by Dauda Fuseini, 1st Vice President of the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF), with a technical team that includes Vincent Akai Nettey (1st Assistant Coach), Elvis Robertson (2nd Assistant Coach), Edward Asante (Team Doctor), and Daniel Quartey (Physiotherapist/Masseur).

Despite participating in two previous qualifying tournaments—in Senegal in 2023 and Italy in February 2024—no Ghanaian boxer has yet secured a spot for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The team features several notable boxers, including African Games gold medalist Joseph Commey. He is joined by Theophilus Kpakpo Allotey (flyweight), Amadu Mohammed (featherweight), Henry Malm (light-middleweight), and Leicester-based Mark Kodjovi Ahondjo (super heavyweight), who was unable to compete in the last qualifier in Busto Arsizio. The lone female boxer is US-based middleweight Ornella Sathoud (75 kg).

Dauda Fuseini expressed confidence in Ghana’s chances of securing some slots for the Paris Olympic Games, with this tournament serving as the final opportunity for qualification.
