Ghana's Janet Acquah loses Olympic Games opportunity

Janet Acquah lost unanimous 0-5 Tapei's Guo-Yi-Xuan in the women's Flyweight -50 kg at the ongoing WQT Boxing Road to Paris 2024 Olympic games in Busto- Arsizio, Italy.

According to the Ghana Amateur Bcxing Federation Media, Janet's defeat today leaves Theophilus Kpakpo Allotey (Flyweight -51kg) as Ghana's sole hope for a slot in pursuit of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Theo Allotey will face South Korea opponent Inkyu Kim on Sunday for a place in the quarterfinals.

The five other Ghanaian boxers including Samuel Takyi at the competition have been either defeated or disqualified and out of the Italy qualifiers.

There's a last window of opportunity to qualify for the Paris 2024 in Bangkok – Thailand (May to June 2024) which many boxing experts say would be a waste of resources for the Bombers and Hitters to go and try for the third time.
