The Ghana Boxing Authority has issued a three month ban to deputy national coach of the Black Bombers Mr. Vincent Akai Nettey and two others for their involvement in the riot that ensued when Beninois referee Adorn Betin stopped the fight between the then defending champion Isaac Sackey and his challenger Wasiru Mohammed on grounds of a technical knockout when the two clashed gloves for the WBO Africa title at the Bukom Boxing Arena in october.
The bout which was organised by promotional house E and J Promotions degenerated into a full scale riot when referee Betin had to use his discretion on the grounds of a bad fall in the 3RD round….. a decision which got tempers at boiling point, in the process, the technical team of Isaac Sackey led by coach Akai Nettey rushed into the ring in protest.
But that singular action precipitated a full breakout of attacks and vandalism.
The Ghana Boxing Authority after its thorough investigation have decided to institute a three month ban on the culprits.
