Ghanaian boxer Amadu Mohammed has called for greater investment in the country’s boxing fraternity, insisting that the nation is blessed with talent but lacks the sponsorship needed to develop athletes.

In an interview with Sporty FM, Mohammed, who won a bronze medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, said his experience at the Games exposed him to training methods and sparring sessions that are different from what is available to boxers in Ghana.

“Participating in the Commonwealth Games was a whole new experience. The sparring and training were different. It helps you to learn because you don’t have that in Ghana,” Mohammed said.

The boxer also highlighted the challenges young talents face in securing financial backing, arguing that athletes often struggle to receive support until they have already achieved success on the international stage.

“There are lots of boxing talents in Ghana but we lack sponsorship and support. The problem is that people don’t want to help you until you’ve already made it,” he added.

He believes increased investment in training facilities, quality sparring opportunities and athlete development could help Ghana uncover and nurture more world-class boxers.
