So far it has been wonderful, and friendly exchanges since the competition moved to the communities from the Bukom Boxing Arena to Chorkor, to Bukom to James Town to Sukura. The gravy train is moving and it may stop in your community.
The entertainment aspect of the show has been slow of late and the production team appeals to personalities and organisations to support the series which is to bring fun and entertainment to the people.
Clyde T. Narh, the production manager said luck of funds has made it very difficult to put pieces together, but will try to catch up with the rest of the League.
The Bukom Fist of Fury Boxing League completes with 26 Weeks, made up of two rounds of 13 Weeks.
George Lamptey, the GBF president has commended all who have supported in the organization of the League and he hopes things will get better and the boxers will be happy.
He said the dream is big, as they have started slowly praying to get better and grab gold for Ghana at the next Olympic Games in 2020.
The sad news is that this week, the Bukom Fist of Fury Boxing League will not come on due to the death of two distinguished personalities, the late Ben Tawiah and Rosemary Ametepe, the first female boxing official the nation has produced.
