The Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) is preparing a comprehensive report detailing “wrongs” that allegedly occurred during the recent “Battle of the Beasts” boxing event, according to Mohammed Amin Lamptey, the GBA’s Communication Director.
The high-profile event, organized by Sharaf Mahama, CEO of Legacy Rise Sport, in collaboration with Amir Khan Promotion, featured bouts between American and Ghanaian boxers vying for various titles. However, Lamptey revealed that certain aspects of the event may have breached established boxing regulations.
Speaking in an interview with Benjamin Sackey of GhanaWeb Sports on June 18, 2025, Lamptey assured the public that the GBA would release its findings promptly. “The last fight is something where things really went wrong. We wouldn’t want to put anything in the public domain for now. We want to come out with a comprehensive report on that fight so that Ghanaians understand where we are coming from,” he stated.
Further hinting at the severity of the issues, the GBA Communication Director indicated that the authority plans to hold a press conference to disclose details of an email received from the British Boxing Board of Control concerning Sharaf Mahama’s event.
“So, for now, with regards to what the British Boxing Board of Control wrote to us, it is an email that they are trying to verify to take up with the Ghana Boxing Authority. I’ll give you the details later,” Lamptey added, suggesting potential international implications or concerns raised by the British boxing governing body.
The boxing community in Ghana now awaits the GBA’s official report and the promised press conference for full clarity on the alleged irregularities at the “Battle of the Beasts” event.
