“If you train boxers for three months and you did not raise these concerns for them to be resolved and after that dismal or abysmal performance, you come to raise these concerns, then your integrity is at stake.”
“All I can say is that, it’s political, it’s a fabrication and I think it’s false. I am speaking because there is also the perception that when they speak and you don’t say anything, it is assumed to be the truth” Charles Osei Asibey said.
🎥 🇬🇭 “I respect Coach Ofori Asare, but those comments are fabricated, false, surprising and political. Why did he not raise those concerns in camp?”
