STREETWISE MANAGEMENT CHIEF SHOCKED AT EMPTY ALLEGATIONS
“ALL THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE UNTRUE”- AMOO-BEDIAKO
Streetwise Management CEO, United Kingdom based Michael Amoo-Bediako, has refuted claims made by what he called ‘certain high ranking individual’ members of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA)
In a well worded letter copied your most authoritative portal, Boxing Ghana, Richard Commey’s manager minced no words as he chronicles the purported facts and facts after facts.
“It has come to my attention that certain high ranking members of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) has taken it upon themselves to smear my name throughout the boxing fraternity in Ghana. These comments ultimately come back to the same unfounded allegations.” The first paragraph read.
Written on his company’s official letter head, Amoo-Bediako bulleted the issues as alleged to include :
“1. That I have placed my self at odds with the GBA and oppose any ideas they have.
- That I advised Streetwise Management fighter and a former world champion Richard Commey to insult the GBA and that I am in lockstep with him on any and every comment he makes regarding the GBA.
- That I have treated Richard’s former trainer, Lawrence Carl Lokko , unfairly; and that it was Carl who discovered Richard, financed his development and that I benefited from this and ultimately moved Richard away from Carl and left Carl behind.” He listed.
The UK based Ghanaian native then went ahead to state emphatically without any equivocation that all the said allegations are untrue
“All these allegations are completely false. Those who have anything to say about my Streetwise organization or myself can call for a meeting with me so we can hold a constructive conversation and clear the air for the greater good of Ghana boxing.”
“If they do not wish to do this, I ask that this same people who utter such comments in private should stop hiding in the shadows, show themselves and make those statements publicly.”
“These GBA members should note that I have documented evidence to refute any claims made against me and I challenge them to bring forth any documented evidence of their own in connection with the statements they have made about me.” Amoo Bediako addressed.
For the first time the promoter cum manager touched on his indefinite suspension issued by the boxing governing authority (GBA) headed by Abraham Kotei Neequaye.
“The GBA has suspended me through a press release without contacting me personally and without giving me a chance to refute any claims and defend myself. I have written to the GBA twice on this matter through my lawyers but have had no reply. This is not only damaging to me, it is damaging to my fighters and thus, damaging to Ghana boxing as a whole.” He said
” The sport of boxing in Ghana needs unity. Fragmenting it will only serve yo hurt it. I do not need mercy, I do however, demand justice. I cannot stand by and allow this to continue. Either say what you whisper boldly or don’t say it at all.” He expressed in a call on all stakeholders to unite for the good of Ghana boxing.
