Ghanaian boxer Elvis Ahorgah has been handed an indefinite suspension and fined GH¢5,000 by the Ghana Boxing Interim Management Committee (GBIMC) after flouting national boxing regulations by participating in an unauthorised bout in Lagos, Nigeria.

The sanction, announced last Friday, marks one of the sternest disciplinary actions in recent years by Ghana’s boxing authorities, and effectively leaves the 24-year-old’s career on the ropes.
