Let me start with this quote; Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. ~ Oprah Winfrey, media mogul.
Lots of young talented boxers start their careers and eventually loses interest in the sport within a short time. This could be due to bad management or refusal to train harder for the task ahead. Some may have worked hard enough but have been unlucky to be noticed by people or managerial institutions who were searching for people of their kind to help them succeed.
Streetwise Management is an international managerial body founded by Mr. Michael Amoo-Bediako Snr “to create a selective boxing management company to provide quality management for professional boxers and hands on development for amateur boxers. Also to acquire endorsements and sponsorship, to help deal with the media and assist in hiring the best legal advice in the industry. Their main goal is to develop boxers to reach the pinnacle of the sport.”
Its mission, according to the CEO Michael Amoo-Bediako is to offer a hands-on, business-minded approach to it’s clients to help them reach their full potential.
The managmet body has many professional boxers under it’s stable who are doing marvelously well in their careers. Richard Commey, its Global Ambasdador won the IBF world lightweight title under its tutelage. Other fighters with them are Ramez Mahmoud (11-1), Duke Micah (24-1), Ryan Walker (11-3), Joshua Wahab (20-0), Sherrif Quaye (19-3-1) etc.
With Streetwise Management aiming to guide more talents to glory, Boxing Ghana took an opportunity to ask it’s founder and CEO, Mr. Amoo whether some Ghanaian boxers are on it’s radar. With so much passion seen in the CEO’s regular dealings to help uplift the sport in his motherland, his response wasn’t a surprise at all
“We are looking at a number of possible boxers at the moment but I am not at liberty to say their names until we have signed them but definitely we are looking to sign more Ghanaian boxers.”
Good news! Isn’t it? “We are looking to sign more Ghanaian boxers” he said.
Back on Oprah Winfrey’s quote, the young talents in Ghana, whether amateur of professionals must continue to put in their best this moment to put them in the best place the next moment. Obviously Streetwise wouldn’t look to manage just any talent but the best.
Continue to put in your best and stay focused like Bruce Lee, a martial artist and move star once said, “The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus”, and you could see yourself with a life transforming career partner.
