Boxing Syndicate, ACE Power Promotion(APP) have secured a partnership deal with the World Boxing Council (WBC) Amateur arm for its flagship event “Street to Champions”.
The deal will see WBC offer kits, medals and certificates to all participating amateur boxers.
According to the General Manager of ACE Power Promotion Mr Isaac Adu Amankwaah, his trip to Nigeria for the YUCATECO and WBC Amateur event paved way for the deal.
“I was in Nigeria for the event and I happened to have met Mr Houcine Houichi who doubles as the President of the African Boxing Union and Vice President who was in Nigeria for the same event. We connected well and the deal was struck. We are excited to get the support of a body like the WBC. This gives us validation that we are doing something good right here in Ghana”. He said.
He added that, the partnership will yield bigger benefits where ACE Power will emulate what Nigerians have done as they are keen on inviting Houcine Houichi for the 3.0 event in Ghana.
ACE Power will stage its next amateur boxing event dubbed “Street to Champions” 2.0 on April 11.
Throwing more light on his participation in WBC Yucateco event, Mr Amankwah said he learnt a lot and will incorporate the knowledge into their next event.
“I learnt a lot, from boxers camping, to event branding and Media management. We will use that knowledge to make street to champions 2.0 better”.
The event is meant to take young people off the streets of the coastal lines of Ghana where boxing is popular and use the discipline to uplift them from hardship.
