Paris 2024: Ghana fails in attempt to secure boxing qualification

Audio By Carbonatix

There will be no Ghanaian boxer at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games as the Black Bombers missed out on securing a spot during the recent World Olympic Qualifiers in Bangkok, Thailand.

Despite the participation of seven boxers, including one female athlete, none managed to turn their Olympic aspirations into reality.

The second world qualifying tournament on the Road to Paris 2024, held at the Indoor Arena – Huamark Stadium Bangkok in Thailand, witnessed Ghana's sole hope in the Women’s Middleweight -75Kg category, Ornella Sathoud, losing by unanimous decision (0-5) to Shierleidis Orozco of Columbia in the round of 16 on Saturday.

Her defeat came hours after Theophilus Allotey had also been eliminated from the qualifying series.

At the last Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, Ghana secured a medal solely through boxing, thanks to Samuel Takyi, who earned a bronze medal.
