Boxing Boxing: 2 boxers off to Korea for PABA titles Sunday
MAY 4, 2016 LISTEN

Barnor will throw up with Kim Woo Hyun at Bantamweight whilst Featherweight Boyfio comes up against Jeog Jong-Min, both in a (Pan Asia Boxing Association) PABA 3 weight championship at the Incheon Nurse High School on May 8 under the auspices of Choenma Promotions.  Weigh-in is on Saturday 7 May.

The two boxers and their coaching team will be led by Alhaji Awalu Ibrahim on the trip coming on the heels of recent training tour to Ghana by Korean boxers, Lee Kyu Suk and Jeon Byung Yun is expected to further cement the burgeoning good relations between the two countries in the bid to revive the flagging fortunes of the sport in this country.

It is for the same reason that the Ghana Ministry of Sports invited Hwang Hyun Ki, a Korean boxing promoter and WKF Asia vice president leading their team and his boxers to a meeting with the Minister of Sports, Hon. Nii Lamptey Vanderpuye last week due to 'the big opportunity they have given to Ghanaian boxers and also promoting international relations.'

The meeting was cancelled at the last minute due to a clash with Hon. Vanderpuye's itinerary but Hwang has been asked to return to Ghana for further discussions with the Minister on further partnerships and exchange programmes.
