The President of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA), Abraham Kotei Neequaye, has announced his resignation with effect from Friday, June 27.
This he says is due to personal reasons and was a very difficult decision to take.
He is, however, expected to address the press on Friday before his final exit.
These were contained in a press release issued by Mr Neequaye and dated Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
“I deeply regret to inform fellow Ghanaians that I am resigning as the president of Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) due to personal reasons, ” the release opened.
“While it was a difficult decision to make, it was the best course of action for me and some executive board members with integrity and dignity at this crucial time.”
The GBA President is said to have recently been affected by purported comments made by the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, after the unfortunate death of a Nigerian boxer in March.
The comments by the Minister are said to have affected Mr Neequaye.

“I actually value the insights that I have learned, and I expect them to help me in my future endeavours.
“The decision came out after careful considerations of my career goals and personal aspirations.”
Abraham Kotei Neequaye insinuated character assassination not only targeted at him but some of the board members.
