Speaking at the presentation of the gifts to Commey, who visited the Jubilee House, seat of government in Accra on Monday to show his title to the president, Akufo-Addo noted that Commey has lived up to his promise two years ago, to become a world champion and commended him for working hard to fulfill the promise.
“I remember vividly the promise you made on the stage at the Bukom Boxing Arena, a couple of months after I became President, and you have lived up to your pledge.
“The path you have trodden, despite the defeats and disappointments, you stuck to your guns knowing you had it in you to do it. It is a great story. It is a little bit like my own story,” he told Commey.
Commey was accompanied on the visit by the President of the Ghana Boxing Association (GBA), Mr. Peter Zwennes, and the deputy Minister for Sports, Mr. Curtis Okudzeto.
