Audio By Carbonatix

Henry Malm has become the latest Ghanaian to be eliminated in the ongoing Paris 2024 Olympic Games qualifiers in Bangkok, Thailand.

Malm, who had progressed to the round of 32, suffered a defeat to Belgian opposition in Mohammed Rachem.

The Black Bomber lost by a unanimous point decision.

Halm's elimination now means only three Ghanaians are left in the race to secure a ticket to Paris for the upcoming games.

Earlier in the day, Joseph Commey advanced to the next stage of the Light Welterweight as he defeated Ivory Coast's Hassan Ntumba Kabungela.

Theophilius Kpakpo Allotey will fight on Thursday against Anvarzhan Khadzhiev from Kyrgyzstan while Ornella Sathoud will be in the ring on Saturday, June 1, against Azerbaijan's Aynur Rzayeva.

In all, there are 51 Olympic slots available at the Bangkok Qualifier.

No Ghanaian has qualified for the Olympic Games in Paris, despite Ghanaian representation at the 2023 African Qualifiers in Senegal and the 2024 tournament in Busto Arsizio, Italy.
