Accra: The Ghana Boxing Federation (GBF) has officially unveiled a new logo in a ceremony held at the Media Centre of the Accra Sports Stadium. The event gathered key stakeholders in Ghana's sporting fraternity, including the Director-General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), a representative from the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC), and members of the federation's executive board. The ceremony was chaired by Nana Amponsah Adu-Gyamfi, Kyidomhene of Assin Achiase in the Assin South District.
According to Ghana Web, NSA Director-General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah addressed the gathering, calling for increased support for amateur boxing and grassroots sports development across the country. He emphasized the need for unity among stakeholders to revive and strengthen the sport. Ankrah praised the new logo, expressing hope that it would attract more people to boxing and help produce more champions.
GBF President Dauda Fuseni, delivering the keynote address, hailed the unveiling as a historic milestone in Ghanaian boxing and a symbol of a broader reform agenda under his leadership. Fuseni, who brings over two decades of experience as a matchmaker, manager, and promoter, was elected President of the Federation after serving as First Vice President. His election is viewed as a strong endorsement of his vision to reposition Ghana boxing.
Fuseni's influence extends beyond the national front, having been appointed a board member of the African Boxing Union and named President of African Boxing Zone 2, overseeing boxing activities in 16 West African countries. During the unveiling, he emphasized that the new logo represents more than just a visual rebrand; it symbolizes identity, vision, values, and direction.
He highlighted Ghana's reputation as a formidable boxing nation and noted the need for the federation's image to reflect a modern, dynamic, and forward-looking organization. Fuseni explained that the new emblem symbolizes renewal, strength, unity, and excellence, underscoring the federation's commitment to professionalism, transparency, youth development, and international competitiveness.
Fuseni stressed that the rebranding is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen grassroots development, improve governance structures, attract strategic partnerships, and prepare athletes for major international competitions. He expressed confidence that the new identity would inspire athletes, energize stakeholders, and strengthen the brand both locally and internationally, aligning with the broader vision of reclaiming Ghanaian boxing's place among the world's elite.
The ceremony concluded with energetic kpanlogo performances by the Ghana Boxing Supporters Union (GHABSU), adding cultural flair to the event.
