The Ministry for Sports and Recreation has commended the organisers of "The Legacy Continues", and its partners, citing their "level of organisation, attention to detail and adherence to recognised international standards" in the just-ended card, which was held on Friday, April 10.

In a statement dated April 11, and signed by the Sports Minister Kofi Adams, the Ministry lauded the boxing promoters for the level of professionalism displayed during the card, stating that it "reflects the direction the Ministry has been driving, to make boxing a safe, clean and properly regulated sport".

It added that "Legacy Rise is showing clear intent in how professional boxing should be structured and delivered in Ghana".

One of the key highlights from the Ministry’s remarks was the strong emphasis on discipline in event management, officiating, and safety protocols, elements described as essential to restoring trust and strengthening the credibility of boxing in Ghana.

"What stood out was the discipline around event management, officiating and safety protocols. These are not optional. They are central to restoring trust and building a credible boxing environment that protects athletes while elevating competition", parts of the statement noted.

The Ministry also stressed that the boxing event gave Ghanaian fighters a good opportunity to fight serious, competitive matches in Ghana (at home) instead of always going abroad.

The event also gave Ghanaian boxers a strong platform to compete in meaningful bouts at home. That exposure is critical for development and progression, and it is how we build fighters who can compete confidently on the continental and global stage.
