Jamestown: the heart of boxing in Ghana

Within a small unassuming corner of Accra, the capital of Ghana, lives a community of athletes and spectators with a common obsession: boxing. Africanews takes you to Bukom and Jamestown, the heart of boxing in Ghana. Internationally renowned boxers like Professor Azuma Nelson and Joshua Clottey learned to fight in one of the over twenty boxing clubs over there.

I always wondered where Azuma trained way back in the day. At a time he was the only well known boxer from Ghana in the US.

Thanks for the vid

Tol, ghana has produced some world class boxers as well like Ike Quartey, Azumah Nelson, Ben Tackie,Joseph Agbeko and of course Joshua Clottey.

Much respect to the ghanaian boxers and to Joshua Clottey, he is a proud and tough warrior but will still lose in the end to the Bruce Lee of boxing Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao.

Thanks for the video. Is Ghana going to produce quality fighters like in South Africa and Nigeria?

Thanks to the British to introduce this sport in 1957.

Anyhow GO PACMAN GO, show Ghana how we fight in Pinas!
