NSA Lifts Suspension On Professional Boxing
The National Sports Authority (NSA) officially lifted the suspension on professional boxing in Ghana on Thursday, November 6, 2025.
This move was facilitated by the successful implementation of enhanced medical and safety protocols, as well as stronger governance systems, by the Ghana Boxing Interim Management Committee (IMC).
The NSA praised the IMC, athletes, and industry stakeholders for their cooperation and patience during the sport’s normalisation period, highlighting the importance of the reforms in preserving Ghana’s boxing legacy.
Key reforms include new medical and safety manuals, an interim medical commission, a centralised health database, and an approved insurance framework prioritising athlete welfare and institutional standards.
The Authority reaffirmed its commitment to building a safer, more professional, and sustainable boxing ecosystem in collaboration with all partners, encouraging local and international promoters to stage bouts in Ghana under the new regulatory framework.
