GBA wants Allotey to explain why he should not be sanctioned for fan assault

The Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) has summoned WBO Africa Super Welterweight Champion, Patrick Allotey to appear before its Disciplinary and Arbitration Committee on Wednesday, February 5, 2020.

The summons sighted by Graphic Online comes 48 hours after Allotey alias The Darling Boy Arrow was captured in a viral video pummeling a man in the stands of the Accra Stadium.

He is expected to show cause why he should not be sanctioned for bringing the name of the sport into disrepute, although he has already apologised and accepted responsibility for his actions.

"You are hereby summoned to appear before the Disciplinary and Arbitration Committee of the GBA on Wednesday the 5th day of February 2020 at 1 pm to show cause why you a licensed professional boxer should not be sanctioned not only for gross misconduct but also for bringing the name of the sport into disrepute," the statement said.
