Accra, Feb. 16, -The Ghana Boxing
Authority (GBA) has said, it has
cautioned International Boxing Organization (IBO) Lightweight champion
Emmanuel Tagoe and urged him to be of
good behaviour, following recent allegations against some members of the
fraternity.
Tagoe, has been sued by the
trainer and father of Isaac Dogboe, Paul Dogboe over allegations that, he was a
fraudster.
Speaking at a press conference to
announce the world title fight between Isaac Dogboe and Jesse Magdaleno, Mr
Peter Zweenes, President of GBA said, his outfit would not tolerate insults and
foul language by boxers to promote their fights.
“You can engage in trash talks to
promote your fights, but you must be discipline. It must be devoid of insults
and personal attacks.
“The GBA has already summoned
Emmanuel Tagoe and his management and cautioned him and urged him to
concentrate on putting up better performance as a world champion,” he added.
According to Mr. Zweenes, the GBA
would punish licensed boxers, who put the name of boxing into disrepute.
“Any boxer who puts up a
disgraceful behaviour or any member of the GBA, who would misconduct himself,
would be put before the Judicial Committee and subsequently face punishments.
He said the GBA would ensure
there was discipline in the sport.
