The Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) has disowned former IBF Lightweight champion, Richard Commey.
In an interview with Joy Sports yesterday on Friday 26 August, the sport president of this body, Abraham Kotei Neequaye stated that GBA does not recognise Commey as a Ghanaian boxer.
Sharing his statement;
The Ghana Boxing Authority has no connection with Richard Commey.
We banned Richard Commey. He said he prefers paying (boxing) development fee to the US authority so we don’t see him as one of the Ghanaian boxers so have no interest in his fight.
Richard Commey will fight Jose Pedraza in his first contest today on Saturday, August 27, 2022.
He moved up in weight from the lightweight to welterweight division.
