Ghana Professional Boxing “RESET” Comeback Nears as IMC Finalizes Medical Reforms

Ghana’s long-awaited return to professional boxing is inching closer, following significant strides by the Interim Management Committee (IMC) tasked with overseeing the sport’s normalization process.

The IMC’s Medical Sub-Committee has completed and submitted an upgraded draft of comprehensive medical and safety protocols for professional boxing in Ghana. These reforms are designed to safeguard athlete welfare and align the country’s standards with international boxing regulations — a vital milestone toward lifting Ghana’s suspension from professional boxing activities.

Chaired by veteran sports administrator and former Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) President Samir Captan, the IMC continues to engage international boxing bodies that have been monitoring Ghana’s progress. The latest developments have been met with optimism, signaling renewed confidence in Ghana’s readiness to rejoin the global boxing community.

A major highlight of this progress was the Ghana vs France International Boxing Contest, held at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, October 19, 2025, which successfully tested the new medical and operational frameworks. The IMC is currently reviewing the post-event assessment to refine these procedures ahead of a full resumption of professional bouts — expected by the end of October 2025.

The National Sports Authority (NSA) and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation (MoSR) continue to provide guidance and oversight, ensuring that the RESET process is completed smoothly and transparently.

This collaboration underscores the Government of Ghana’s unwavering commitment to restoring the nation’s proud boxing legacy — built on safety, professionalism, and integrity.

With these latest reforms, optimism is running high across Ghana’s boxing circles, as the sport stands on the brink of a historic and well-deserved comeback.
