In a commanding display of skill and strategy, Janet Acquah faced a formidable opponent in Taipei’s Guo-Yi-Xuan, ultimately succumbing to a unanimous 0-5 defeat in the women’s Flyweight -50kg category at the ongoing WQT Boxing Road to Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Busto-Arsizio, Italy.
This setback for Janet leaves Ghana’s hopes pinned on Theophilus Kpakpo Allotey in the Flyweight -51kg division as the lone contender striving for a berth in the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
All eyes now turn to Theo Lopez as he prepares to take on his South Korean adversary, Inkyu Kim, in a crucial match slated for Sunday, with a quarterfinals berth on the line.
With the exit of the other five Ghanaian boxers from the Italy qualifiers, the pressure mounts for Theo Lopez to secure Ghana’s representation in the prestigious Olympic event.
As the competition intensifies, Ghana’s boxing contingent faces an uphill battle, but with determination and grit, they aim to seize the last opportunity to qualify for Paris 2024, with the upcoming window in Bangkok, Thailand, from May to June 2024 looming large on the horizon.
