Elvis Ahorgah, known to many as ‘Soldier’ in the Ghanaian boxing circle has come under serious scrutiny for his disregard for authority during the period when the activities of the Ghana Boxing Authority was temporarily suspended to enable the Interim Management Committee (IMC) restructure the authority.

Mr. Ahorgah during this period fought in Nigeria in a bout he supposedly switched license fro GBA to NBBofC. This information purportedly violated the set rules of the IMC during the period under review and they have issued a statement in regard.

“The Ghana Boxing Interim Management Committee (GBIMC) has concluded disciplinary proceedings involving three licensees, boxer Elvis Ahorgah, trainer Daniel Ayiquaye, and matchmaker Daniel Donkor following their unauthorised participation in a boxing event in Lagos, Nigeria on 1st October 2025.

Mr. Ahorgah, a licensed Ghanaian boxer, renounced his Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) license and fought under the Nigerian Boxing Board of Control (NBBofC) without proper clearance. His trainer and matchmaker, both GBA licensees, actively supported the bout despite lacking official authorisation.

After multiple invitations to appear before the Committee, Mr. Ahorgah failed to attend. His conduct was deemed unpatrioric and in violation of GBA Rules and the Ethical Code of Conduct. Consequently, the GBIMC has withdrawn his license, imposed an indefinite suspension from professional boxing in Ghana, and levied a GHC5,000 fine.

Messrs Ayiquaye and Donkor, who admitted error in judgment, received suspension of two and three months respectively, alongside fines of GHC1,000 each. Failure to pay within two months will extend their suspensions.

The GBIMC has directed that these sanctions be widely publicized, including notification to international boxing bodies, to reinforce discipline and uphold the integrity of Ghanaian boxing.”
