In February 2026, Wisdom Boxing Gym officially launched its first Public Sparring Session of the year reinforcing its commitment to structured development and competitive readiness.
The session brought together members of the gym’s amateur team alongside selected professional fighters preparing for upcoming bouts.
With limited regular competitions available, the Public Sparring Series was designed to bridge the gap giving young boxers the opportunity to develop ringmanship, composure, and tactical discipline under real ring conditions.
Participants dressed exactly as they would on fight night, complete with full ring attire and organized bout structure. However, the objective was not about winning.
The focus remained on growth — improving skills, understanding ring control, managing pressure, and applying training in a realistic setting.
A professional referee officiated each bout, ensuring proper supervision and discipline. Beyond enforcing the rules, the referee actively cautioned and guided the athletes, helping them understand positioning, conduct, and ring intelligence.
The philosophy is simple: learn to be a boxer first — disciplined, respectful, and technically sound.
This month’s edition also welcomed boxers from Ghana’s Central Region, strengthening collaboration across regions and expanding competitive exposure.
Adding an international touch to the event, two family members from the United Kingdom and the United States were present to observe the session.
Their visit provided a meaningful opportunity to witness firsthand the progress and growth of their children within the program. It reinforced the importance of transparency, community support, and family involvement in the development journey of young athletes.
For many of the boxers, the experience built confidence and maturity. For professionals with upcoming fights, it served as a vital performance check ahead of competition.
The Public Sparring Series will continue throughout the year as part of Wisdom’s long-term development strategy. The gym welcomes collaborators, clubs, and partners who are interested in supporting future editions and strengthening the pathway for Ghana’s boxing talent.
