The race for the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) presidency is gathering pace, and Ivan Bruce-Cudjoe has fired a clear early salvo.

The boxing promoter and businessman intensified his bid for the sport’s top job with a strategic visit to the United Boxing Association of Ghana meeting grounds at James Town last Tuesday, directly engaging coaches and key stakeholders ahead of the crucial June 2 elections.

With the clock ticking towards a decisive transition in Ghana’s professional boxing governance, Bruce-Cudjoe is positioning himself as the candidate of reform — a man, he insists, ready to deliver a long-overdue “reset” of the sport.

Ghana’s storied boxing tradition is set for a bold reinvention on May 8 as the nation’s finest fighters trade the familiar confines of the ring for the open sands of LaBoma Beach in La, headlining a high-octane showcase dubbed Best of Bukom 3.

In a striking fusion of sport and spectacle, organisers Bishop Boxing Promotions are transforming the shoreline into a fight arena, where crashing waves and ocean breeze will frame a stacked card featuring Bukom’s established names and its next generation of rising contenders.

Booed onto the pitch before the game, taunted with angry chants by their own supporters and the once-loved owners urged to "get out of our club" as the team were relegated to League One -- what a way for Leicester City to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the most remarkable story in Premier League history.

It's been nearly a decade since Claudio Ranieri's Leicester -- 5000-1 outsiders -- sealed the Premier League title, and it would be hard to argue that there has ever been a more unlikely football triumph anywhere.

But there was no joy this time, no Andrea Bocelli singing "Nessun Dorma" in the centre-circle, just bitterness and anger and the sight of club owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha shrugging his shoulders and blowing out his cheeks as the supporters sang "sack the board" at the final whistle.

In an era where the velocity of information often trumps its veracity, the caution delivered by Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) President, Kwabena Yeboah, should not be treated as mere ceremonial rhetoric.

Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Vice-President George Afriyie has thrown his weight behind new Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz, but launched a sharp critique of the decision to hand the veteran tactician a short-term contract, insisting Ghana needed stability, not a four-month gamble.

He said the FA may have misjudged the scale of the task by handing the Portuguese a short-term deal, insisting that Ghana should have secured Queiroz on a minimum two-year contract to guarantee stability, continuity and a realistic shot at success on the global stage beyond the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
