KONUAH HOUSE (AKOTOKU BOXING ACADEMY)

Akotoku Boxing Academy, home of Ghana’s world champions, is still regarded among the best in the country. For nearly 50 years, Akotoku has produced some of the world’s greatest boxers.
Founded in 1974 by the late Francis Attuquaye Clottey, Akotoku is where legends such as Azumah Nelson, Ike Quartey, David “Poison” Kotey and Alfred Kotey honed their craft.
Nelson, one of the greatest fighters of his era, is an International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee. Quartey was a mainstay in the welterweight division, holding the WBA 147-pound world title from 1994-1997. In 1975, David Kotey became Ghana’s first world champion by defeating Ruben Olivares to win the WBC world featherweight title. Alfred Kotey briefly held a world bantamweight strap.
