The President of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA), Abraham Kotei Neequaye, has announced his decision to step down from his position, citing personal reasons.
The announcement was contained in a press release circulated on Wednesday night by the GBA’s Communications Director, Mohammed Amin Lamptey, via WhatsApp.
“I deeply regret to inform fellow Ghanaians that I am resigning as the president of Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) due to personal reasons,” Mr. Neequaye disclosed in the statement.
He described the decision as “difficult to make,” but indicated that it was “the best course of action for me and some executive board members with integrity and dignity at this crucial time.”
His resignation will take effect on Friday, June 27, 2025, after an official press conference scheduled for 10:00 am at the GBA Secretariat, where he will formally announce his exit from the role.
Reflecting on his tenure, Mr. Neequaye expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve as president of the GBA, stating, “I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities that I have been given as the GBA president. I actually value the insights that I have learned, and I expect them to help me in my future endeavours.”
He clarified that the decision followed “careful considerations of my career goals and personal aspirations.”
Mr. Neequaye also acknowledged the difficult moments faced during his administration, especially when he and some of his board members encountered public criticism.
“Let me seize the opportunity to thank the media landscape for the support you offered me and my board members, especially those of us who suffered character assassination during these difficult times,” he stated.
The GBA President emphasised that the role was entirely voluntary and came without financial benefit.
“I want to thank fellow compatriots wherever you are for being supportive of my professional growth in an office that doesn’t pay salary or allowance but just a sacrificial work to serve others and one’s country,” he wrote.
The press release extended an invitation to media outlets to attend Friday’s press conference “to equip yourself with firsthand information.”
