Ghana’s Janet Acquah Loses Olympic Games Opportunity
Janet Acquah lost unanimous 0-5 Tapei’s Guo-Yi-Xuan in the women’s Flyweight -50Kg at the ongoing WQT Boxing Road to Paris 2024 Olympic games in Busto- Arsizio, Italy.
According to the Ghana Amateur Bcxing Federation Media, Janet’s defeat today leaves Theophilus Kpakpo Allotey (Flyweight -51kg) as Ghana’s sole hope for a slot in pursuit to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Theo Allotey will face South Korea opponent Inkyu Kim on Sunday for a place in the quarterfinals.
The five other Ghanaian boxers including Sanuel Takyi at the competition have been either defeated or disqualufied and out of the Italy qualifiers.
There’s a last window of opportunity to qualify for the Paris 2024 in Bangkok – Thailand (May to June, 2024) which many boxing experts say would be a waste of resources for the Bombers and Hitters to go and try for the third time.
