Legendary boxer Azumah Nelson is set to step into the ring once again, this time facing off against Irchad Razaaly, the European Union Ambassador to Ghana.
Scheduled for Saturday, May 4, 2024, the exhibition match will take place at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra.
This event is part of the EU Month celebrations slated for May, with the bout carrying the theme “Diplo-Rumble: Empowering Youth Through Sports.” The aim of the match is not only to showcase the boxing prowess of young athletes from Bukom but also to promote youth empowerment through sports.
“The European Union Delegation to Ghana is proud to announce a series of events that will highlight the importance of youth and skills development in the European Union-Ghana partnership,” said Mr Razaaly, EU Ambassador to Ghana.
Another significant event lined up for the EU Month celebrations is the annual partnership dialogue between the EU and the Government of Ghana, scheduled for May 6.
Chaired by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, this dialogue will bring together ambassadors from EU member states accredited to Ghana, along with representatives from government institutions such as the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration (MFARI).
The agenda for this meeting includes discussions on trade, security, and sustainable development, aiming to strengthen Ghana-EU relations.
Following this dialogue, the annual Europe Day Reception will take place on May 9 at the EU Ambassador’s Residence in Accra.
This reception, known as one of the largest diplomatic gatherings in Accra, promises to be a noteworthy event during the EU Month celebrations.
