Mr. George Okoe Lamptey, President of the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF) is top favorite to win the 2021 SWAG Sports Administrator of the year after leading the Ghana National Amateur Boxing Team, the Black Bombers to chalk many successes at international and local competitions and other events.
In 2018, Boxing was the sole (Bronze) medal winner for Ghana at the Commonwealth Games in Australia.
In 2021, Boxing was the sole (Bronze) medal winner at the Olympic Games for Ghana after almost 30 years in Japan. History was repeated at Tokyo 2020.
All these successes were won under the watch of Mr. George Lamptey who loves to work positively behind, until the results are made. He also says “Boxing is the pillar of Ghana Sports”.
He thanked SWAG for the nomination and the GOC for offering opportunities for the youth, including boxers who always represent and win for the nation.
He believes Ghana will win many medals at the next African Games to be hosted in Accra, and called on all involved in the planning to ensure that the Black Bombers are taken good care of between now and 2023.
