The Black Bombers and the Black Hitters fail to impress at the 2023 African Olympic qualifies in Dakar, Senegal.<\/p>\n

Out of 12 boxers made up of seven male and five female none could make it to the finals.<\/p>\n

Theophilus Allotey sailed to the semi-final but was beaten by a Tunisian in a competition dominated by North Africans.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Heavyweight hopeful, Jonathan Tetteh who was in the quarter final was also beaten by an Algerian.<\/p>\n

Experienced captain, Abdul Wahid Qmar was also beaten in a strange manner.<\/p>\n

Coach of the Black Hitters, Rashid Williams popularly known as Believer said it is not easy to beat the North Africans because majority of them are officials.<\/p>\n

He called on more West Africans to take courses to be allowed to officiate at the international level.<\/p>\n

But the head coach of the team, Dr. Ofori Asare said the team must be prepared for the next competition.<\/p>\n

He was sad no Ghanaian was able to reach the medal zone but is still proud of his team.<\/p>\n
