The national boxing team, Black Bombers, have presented the medals and qualification tickets to the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC).

The Bombers recently returned from Senegal after participating in the African qualifiers for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

President of the Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF), Mr George Lamptey, presented a certificate of appreciation to the president of the GOC, Mr Ben Nunoo Mensah.

He expressed appreciation to the GOC president for the support, encouragement, and motivation that was given them, and for ensuring that they represented Ghana at the qualifiers and also picked tickets for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Mr Lamptey also commended the GOC for ensuring that the Black Bombers were well accommodated and fed at the Games Centre in Dakar, adding that it played a role in securing the two tickets for Ghana.

Mr Nunoo Mensah congratulated the 10 boxers made up of eight males and two females, for their efforts.

He assured them that efforts would be made to facilitate the participation of the rest of the boxers who failed to qualify in Senegal to compete in the next qualifiers in Paris, France in May. – GNA
