Gideon Quartey, President of the Boxing Federation said the amount covers airfares, accommodation and logistics for 20 boxers, coaches and other team officials for the qualifier.

He said the federation aims to qualify at least six boxers for Rio 2016 where they are expected to continue the country’s rich history of participating in the boxing competition.
