Bukom, a boxing community in Ghana is in joyous mood.

This follows the almost completion of a boxing arena promised them by the country’s President, John Dramani Mahama.

Residents, especially, boxing loving fans, on daily basis trek to the site of the arena to inspect the level of progress of the project promised them.

Nii Adamu, 25, who has been practicing how to box over the last six months told Kasapafmonline.com that he has high hopes that the boxing arena will usher in new opportunities for the community that took the world by storm by producing great champions like Azumah Nelson, Ike Quartey, among others.

He believes that the 7,000-seater boxing Arena once commissioned will once again open the community up to the rest of the world.

“I am a young man who is a drop out. I have no employment skills. My parents and friends have been supporting me all these while. The announcement of this boxing arena has brought me new hope. I have been training for the last six months as an amateur boxer and I know that very soon better things will come my way,” an elated Adamu told Kasapafmonline.com.

The boxing arena is expected to be commissioned on November 14, 2016.

It will host the IBO lightweight bout between Emmanuel Tagoe and Argentine boxer, Febardo David Saucedo on November 25, 2016.

The clash is dubbed “Fist of Destiny”.
