Holy and his team were welcomed by the Chief Executive Officer of Centre Point Mall, Bhagwan Asnani, Head of Operations, Kumar Asnani and Marketing Manager, Derrick Afriyie.

“We’re excited to receive Holy and we’re working feverishly to make the event one of the best. We want to help our community and invest in young people to achieve their goals through boxing,” Mr Bhagwan said.

Holy Dorgbetor toured around the Centre Point Mall where he was introduced to other sponsors including Cake City, Chris Maison Restaurant, Rose Joy, Off White Company, Smart Revolution, and Chale App.
