The Ghana Boxing Authority wish to inform the public that the 5-year ban on former Africa WBO Heavyweight Champion, Richard Harisson Nii Lartey has been lifted with immediate effect.
Richard Harrison Lartey officially wrote to the GBA and rendered an unqualified apology to the Excecutive Board Members and the entire members of the boxing Fraternity for his misconduct and indiscipline that led to a 5-year ban on him.
Harrison Lartey who expressed unshakable remorse was banned couple of years ago by the erstwhile GBA President, Peter Zwennes for using forged authorisation letter in the name of the GBA and repeated same under the current GBA led by Abraham Kotei Neequaye. He deliberately circumvented the sanction by using a Tanzanian professional boxing license to fight Abdulkerim Edilov in Russia on Wednesday 3rd November, 2021.

He finally pleaded with the GBA to take a second look at the 5-year ban imposed on him because if nothing is done to ameliorate it, his boxing career will end abruptly and family suffer the untold hardship.
