Former GBA President Warned Balubali Was Unfit for Boxing Before Tragic Death

0

Former Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) President Amin Lamptey has revealed that late boxer Balubali was declared unfit for professional bouts long before his death. According to Lamptey, medical checks showed that Balubali had overused his body and suffered damage to vital areas including the neck, elbows, shoulders, and brain.

He disclosed that a specialist had even advised Balubali not to fight this year due to exhaustion from years of intense training and competition. Unfortunately, Balubali and his team reportedly ignored these warnings and, at one point, verbally attacked the former GBA president for refusing to grant him a license after rejecting an alleged “token.”

Lamptey described the boxer’s final fight, a technical knockout loss to Bright, as a fatal risk that could have been avoided if medical advice had been followed. He stressed the need for stricter enforcement of comprehensive health screenings for Ghanaian boxers to prevent such tragedies in the future.

The revelation has reignited debate over the safety standards within Ghana’s boxing fraternity and the extent to which regulatory bodies can enforce medical safeguards to protect athletes.

Nana Romeo to Sam George: Focus on LGBT Issues, Not DStv

0

Popular radio host Nana Romeo has advised Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, to shift his attention from pay-TV battles to addressing LGBT matters. Speaking on his show, Nana Romeo argued that the lawmaker has gained widespread recognition for his strong stance against LGBTQ+ advocacy in Ghana, and that his energy would be better spent reinforcing that fight rather than challenging satellite television operators like DStv.

The broadcaster’s comments come after Sam George recently intensified his criticism of MultiChoice, operators of DStv and GOtv, over subscription policies and alleged unfair treatment of Ghanaian customers. Nana Romeo, however, suggested that while consumer rights are important, the MP’s influence is more impactful when directed toward the cultural and moral debates that resonate deeply with the Ghanaian public.

His statement has since sparked mixed reactions among listeners, with some supporting the call for Sam George to remain focused on the LGBT debate, while others insist that lawmakers must address a wide range of national concerns, including consumer exploitation.

Otto Addo ‘Not Fit’ for Black Stars Job – Moses Foh Amoaning

0

Veteran journalist and legal practitioner, Moses Foh Amoaning, has cast doubt on Otto Addo’s suitability as head coach of the Black Stars.

Speaking in a recent interview, Foh Amoaning argued that Addo is more of a scout than a tactical leader, insisting that he is still “learning on the job like doing national service.”

According to him, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is well aware of Addo’s limitations, which explains why German coach Winfried Schäfer was brought in to enhance the team’s technical quality.

Foh Amoaning’s comments add to growing debate among football fans and pundits over whether Otto Addo has the right experience and tactical expertise to lead the national team to glory.
