Former WBO Interim Light-heavyweight champion Joshua Buatsi has issued a call for a comprehensive overhaul of Ghana’s boxing ecosystem, insisting that only sustained, large-scale investment in the amateur ranks could restore the nation’s fading global influence and produce its next generation of world champions.
In an interview with the Graphic Sports during a recent visit to Ghana, the 32-year-old Briton of Ghanaian heritage (the boxer proudly traces his roots to the Volta Region) contrasted the well-funded, structured amateur pathway that shaped his rise in the United Kingdom with the chronically under-resourced system that continued to hold back Ghana’s vast reservoir of talent.
