Accompanied by Mr Sidick Shardow, chairman of the Western Regional Ghana Boxing Federation, Mr Walker said the document captures several plans geared at making boxing a leading sport among the youth in the region, with the ultimate aim of producing a new generation of champions.

He said it will require support from philanthropists, private sector players as well as government, and, therefore, called on groups and individuals to support the event.
