The three young boxers, Mathias Ashitey, George Dowuona and Desmond Pappoe were accompanied by a powerful Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF) delegation that included 1st Vice-President, Dauda Fuseni, his deputy Solomon Otoo Lartey, Treasurer Mustapha Nettey as well as Black Rockets head trainer, Charles Quartey and his assistant who coached the 3-man squad in Conakry, Joseph Martey.
“You have done marvelously well and I congratulate the boxers, technical team and the GBF for a good job. Ghana is proud of you,” Alhaji Pangasur said.
“I urge the young boxers to go back to the gym and work harder, dedicated and disciplined. I expect many of you to qualify to the Youth Olympics, Freght Consult will support you through the qualifiers to the competition,” he added.
The team presented and decorated Alhaji Pangasur, himself a GBF executive board member, with the three gold medals and trophy for overall 3rd place at the 2025 African Boxing Youth Championship held in Conakry, Guinea, May 16-26.

The GBF 1st Vice-President, Alhaji Fuseni expressed appreciation to Alhaji Pangasur and appealed to other individuals and companies to emulate his example by supporting the team ahead of the 2026 Youth Olympic Games Qualifiers in Angola in December and the event itself in Dakar, Senegal next year as well as the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.
Head trainer of the Black Rockets, Charles Quartey appealed to the government to be proactive and motivate boxers before international competitions to bring out the best in them.
“Boxing is much more difficult than football, yet footballers who do not win or make Ghanaians happy are supported with taxpayers’ money,” Coach Quartey said.
