The National Sports Authority (NSA) has lifted the suspension of professional boxing in Ghana, starting Thursday, November 6, 2025.
The action comes after the Ghana Boxing Interim Management Committee (IMC) successfully implemented increased medical and safety measures, as well as stronger governance structures.
In a statement, the NSA commended the IMC, athletes, and industry stakeholders for their cooperation and patience during the sport’s normalisation period, noting that the reforms were essential to safeguarding Ghana’s proud boxing legacy.
New medical and safety guidelines, the creation of an interim medical commission, a centralised health database, and an authorised insurance framework with the goal of putting athlete welfare first and bolstering institutional standards are some of the measures that have been implemented.
The Authority urged local and foreign promoters to have fights in Ghana under the new regulatory framework and reiterated its commitment to collaborating with all partners to create a boxing environment that is safer, more professional, and sustainable.
