Baffour Gyan Rubbishes Assaulting Tennis Opponent

Asamoah Gyan and Baffour Gyan

Baffour Gyan has dismissed reports of he and his brother, Asamoah Gyan assaulting a tennis opponent after a tennis match in Accra on Wednesday.

The incident is said to have occurred after a singles match between Asamoah Gyan and complainant Godwin Martey, where Baffour acted as the umpire.

Despite heard in an audio shouting and slapping Martey, Baffour denied the allegations.

”I and Asamoah Gyan didn’t throw our hands at Godwin Martey. It was just an exchange of words," Baffour told Kumasi based Pure FM.

"The tempers were high, so some of the words were harsh and I apologise for that but we didn’t fight him physically.

"How can we fight at the soldier’s premises?” he quizzed.

Godwin became frustrated during the game because of decisions by umpire Baffour Gyan according to media reports.

Martey has since threatened to sue the Gyans on charges of assault. A complaint has been lodged at the Cantonment Police Station in Accra.

Both Baffour and Asamoah Gyan have both featured for the Black Stars.
