Sports Minister Kofi Adams says Ghana\u2019s boxing landscape has been transformed through deliberate reforms in medical safety, officiating, and insurance, restoring confidence in a sport shaken by tragedy.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the SWAG Golden Jubilee Awards, the Minister said: \u201cGhanaian boxing is safer, medically compliant and back in business.\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained that following the unfortunate deaths of two young boxers earlier this year, government immediately reset regulatory standards. \u201cWe introduced stricter medical protocols, compulsory insurance, and tightened oversight of officiating,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kofi Adams highlighted a surge in licensed promotions after reforms took effect. \u201cWe have seen increased promotions, improved athlete safety and stronger confidence from boxers and managers,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He also stressed the need for discipline and accountability. \u201cBoxing must not gamble with human lives. We will not compromise safety under any circumstance,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n

The Minister praised promoters, coaches and gyms for embracing the reforms. \u201cThese measures were necessary, and I am proud that the boxing community stood up to the challenge and accepted that safety must come first.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
