Ghana’s Theophilus Kpakpo Allottey continues to shine as the nation’s beacon of hope in the ongoing WTQ Boxing Road to Paris 2024 Olympic games in Busto-Arsizio, Italy.
The rising star, also known as Theo Lopez, is poised for victory today, aiming to compensate for the premature exits of five other Ghanaian boxers in the World Olympic Qualifiers. This includes the unexpected departure of Samuel Takyi, Africa’s lone boxing medalist at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games.
Theophilus Allotey, a skilled flyweight hailing from the Wisdom Boxing Club in Accra, delivered a significant boost to Ghana and Africa with his commanding unanimous points victory over Taipei’s World Championships quarter-finalist, Tu Po-Wei, during the tournament’s opening day.
Now advancing to the round of 16, he is set to face TASHI WANGDI from Bhutan later today. Bhutan, situated on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, is a Buddhist kingdom in South Asia.
