Patrick Allotey, a Ghanaian Africa Super welterweight champion has said he didn’t know that fighting in public as a professional boxer was against the ethics in boxing.
Allotey was slapped with a six months suspension by the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) after assaulting Asante Kotoko supporter Michael Siaw at the Accra Sports Stadium when Kotoko met Hearts of Oak in the just cancelled 2019/20 Ghana Premier League.
