Former IBF Lightweight champion Richard Commey and manager Amo Bediako have both been suspended indefinitely by the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA). This is twice in a row Richard Commey has been suspended by the GBA after he was handed a two-year ban for disrespect and misconduct towards the Association.
The Authority in a Presser said,
“In your case, you were spotted in a viral video chat where you insulted and attacked the dignity of all GBA board members and maligned the activities of the Ghana Boxing Authority including the upcoming Ghana Professional Boxing League and maliciously attacked the integrity of GBA President without any provocations,” the GBA stated, signed by its President, Abraham Kotei Neequaye.
Among other things, the GBA accused Commey for using unprintable statements in the said interview that, he is not not fighting under the flag of Ghana and for that matter he is not under the GBA as the mandatory Professional Boxing Authority in Ghana.
The GBA therefore deemed the acts as serious misconduct and disrespect and has therefore suspended him indefinitely and withdraw all required courtesies put on him as a Ghanaian professional boxer and a former world champion.
