After discovering the hustle some media persons go through trying to cover boxing events in Ghana, Mr. Bruce-Tagoe of 29photostudio who doubles as the official photographer of the Ghana national boxing team, the Black Bombers expressed his desire to stage a meeting with all boxing stakeholders.
I had an interview with Mr. Bruce-Tagoe and he said a lot on the anticipated planned future event.
On what prompted his desire to engage boxing promoters, coaches, boxers and lovers of the sport, Mr. Bruce-Tagoe of 29photostudio made these submissions,
“I have been a victim of many refusals to events where I had been accredited, I have been refused entry to events where I would have been giving mileage to promoters, boxers and to the sports but the little misunderstanding stood in the way.”
With boxing losing popularity over the years, Isacc Dogboe, Richard Commey, Richard Harrison, Emmanuel Tagoe and other boxers have tried to keep Ghana on the map as far as boxing is concerned, but still need the media to ensure their message is carried across.
Mr. Bruce-Tagoe further said, “once we get to understand ourselves and the part each and everyone plays in projecting the sport, it wouldn’t look like granting favours but rather pushing passion.”
His love for boxing did not end with getting boxing lovers the brilliant emotional shots but also urged him to sign on *Sarah Apew* from the National Amature Team as the face of 29photostudio in his bid to help her in promoting her trade and also project Female Boxing in Ghana.
Boxing Ghana is following the progress of the future event that will ensure the media are given the room to criticize constructively and also project the sport to it’s old glory.
