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

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.
