Bridget Otoo Calls Out GBA for "Envy and Jealousy" Over Sharaf Mahama’s Boxing Event

• Ghanaian media personality Bridget Otoo has blasted the president of the Ghana Boxing Association over Sharaf Mahama's boxing event controversy
• The outspoken media personality stated that the association should share the letter from the British Boxing Board of Control online
• Some social media users have commented on style influencer Bridget Otoo's series of posts on the X platform

Ghanaian media personality Bridget Otoo has vehemently criticised the management of the Ghana Boxing Association (GBA) in light of their comments concerning Sharaf Mahama’s recent boxing spectacle, titled Battle of the Beasts, on June 13, 2025.

The GBA claimed that they had received an alarming correspondence from the British Boxing Board of Control, expressing serious concerns regarding the event held on June 13, 2025, at the illustrious Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra.

In a scathing post on the social media platform X, Bridget Otoo demanded that the GBA produce evidence of this mysterious letter, questioning its very existence.

"Only (The) Ghana Boxing Authority has seen the so-called letter, and if it exists, they should have responded with the contempt that letter deserves."

"The impudence to interfere!!!. But then again, leadership draped in envy, anger and jealousy would not see beyond its nose."

Further adding to her critique, Bridget remarked that the GBA could have approached the situation with greater discretion.

She suggested that, rather than escalating the matter through sensational media statements, the association could have invited Sharaf Mahama for a private dialogue to address any concerns openly.

"If GBA meant well, they could have invited Sharaf behind the scenes and explained things to him. (*however unnecessary.) From what I know and have read, that young man is respectful, humble and open, but someone wanted to show their krakye powers. "

British Boxing Board calls out Sharaf Mahama

Sharaf Mahama, CEO of Legacy Rise Sports, appeared to have found himself in a precarious situation with the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBC) following his high-profile boxing event, "Battle of the Beasts."

According to Mohammed Amin Lamptey, Communications Director of the GBA, the BBBC has raised significant concerns about the organisation of the event, particularly regarding the involvement of British fighters.

He indicated that the BBBC had communicated their grievances to the GBA after the event but refrained from detailing the specific contents of their correspondence.

Lamptey further urged the National Sports Authority and the Sports Minister to intervene, emphasising the need for Sharaf to be held accountable.
