Joshua Clottey upset over ‘rowdiness’ of boxing fans in Bukom, calls for resolution

Former IBF welterweight champion, Joshua ‘The Hitter’ Clottey, has expressed his worries about the disruptive behavior of boxing fans in the Bukom enclave.

According to him, this rowdy conduct is having a detrimental effect on the growth and progress of the sport.

Clottey’s concerns were raised following an incident during the National Individual Championship in Accra on July 14, where the event had to be abruptly halted due to unruly behavior exhibited by some boxing fans who disagreed with the judges’ decision.

Expressing his frustration, Clottey stated, “This has been a long-standing problem within Bukom and its environs whenever fans come in their numbers to support their boxers and it must stop.

“How can the sport grow under such circumstances when people come to watch about and it ends this way?” Clottey bemoaned.

“I am very upset and I think that attitude must stop if we really want our boxing to come back to normal because there are several ways of voicing out our grievances,” said Clottey.

Clottey urged fans to find alternative ways of expressing their grievances and called for a more disciplined and respectful approach to support the sport’s growth.
