Accra: The General Secretary of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA), Mr. Patrick Johnson, has announced that the Normalisation Committee, established to lead reforms in Ghana Boxing, will cease its operations by 2026. Mr. Johnson emphasized the positive impact the committee's efforts will have on the entire ecosystem of Ghana Boxing, ensuring that all stakeholders benefit from the reforms.

According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Johnson highlighted in an exclusive interview that the committee is tasked with collaborating closely with the Ghana Boxing Authority to implement the recommendations of the Ministerial Committee.
