From tiGo to GBA

Telecommunication service providers, tiGo, has offered a GH¢ 30,000 financial support to the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA).
The financial assistance is to facilitate GBA's pilot project to brand all the private gymnasiums in the country.

For starters, the GBA has chosen the Wisdom Boxing Gym in Accra for the prototype project.

“We are beginning with the Wisdom Boxing Gym and when we are successful we will concentrate on other gyms,” GBA boss, Moses Foh-Amoaning said.

The GBA boss told this reporter on telephone yesterday, that tiGo has promised to increase the sponsorship package to GH¢ 300,000 as the months roll by.

Mr Ransford Nyarko, of the marketing department of tiGo, said on telephone yesterday that the sponsorship forms part of his outfit's support for sports in the country.

“We have been supporting golf and soccer, and having realized the potential in boxing we decided to support the idea mooted by Mr Foh-Amoaning,” Mr Nyarko said.
