Only Fairness Can Take You Far: Azumah Nelson Admonishes Newly Trained Boxing Ring Officials
Professor Barima Zoom Zoom, the Terrible Terror, Azumah Nelson, a former World Two Division Champion and the only African inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame, has advised 40 freshly qualified Boxing referees/Judges about biased officiating. The former champion, who dominated the WBC featherweight and super featherweight divisions for 10 years, advised the ring officials in their early stages that the only way to succeed in their chosen profession is to make decisions fairly. When he helped the Ghana Boxing Authority present certificates to the newly trained prospective ring officials at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra, Professor Azumah Nelson issued the warning.

First Vice President Rabon Dodoo, Treasurer Lord Acquaye, and Executive Board member John Marfo were additional GBA executive members who helped with the certificate presentation. A law student and one of the prospective ring officials presented the valedictorian and thanked the GBA for the chance. Imax Media Promotions provided funding for the fundamental training program.
