Read by Ricard Commey’s letter below:

Dear All:

It has come to my attention that in a recent interview I may have caused offence to the GBA and others in the boxing fraternity by using certain words which now I realize were inappropriate.

I wish to apologize to the GBA and to all concerned. I realize that in my position as a role model to many I have to be mindful of my actions.

In future I will refrain from airing certain views in public and deal with them diplomatically and appropriately. There are certain things that I am unhappy with and on my return to Ghana along with my team we will deal with them in the correct way.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Commey
