The Play Network Africa brand has launched a platform to support young boxers across Africa, allowing them to showcase their talents and create opportunities for their growth and success in the sport.
Mawuli Gavor, the owner of Play Club Accra, expressed the brand’s commitment to making a positive impact in the boxing industry. They aim to provide young professionals with the chance to demonstrate their skills and offer audiences high-quality displays of boxing proficiency from athletes of all genders through competitive events.
“The VVIP fight night has already begun in Abuja, so this isn’t the first event of its kind. It’s a concept that has already been successfully implemented there. Luckily, we have Black Coffee, who was involved in organizing it, as our manager at Play Ghana. It only made sense that if we are in Ghana and have someone with original ties to the event, we should collaborate and provide Ghanaians with an exceptional experience.”
“The whole point of it is to give Ghanaians a different experience and that’s what we’re trying to do. We have created something new and this is literally just the beginning we’re looking forward to how we’re going to have collaborative efforts to blow this up and do what it’s supposed to be because at the end of the day, it’s not just supposed to help the people but the Boxers and the people who were entertained and so, it’s a two-fold.”
General Manager of Play Club Accra Frederick Dozie, also threw light on the vision of the Fight Night in going beyond Entertainment and more towards providing opportunities for young boxers to help reduce social vices in African society.
The Club is linked to Boxing gyms in Bukom with young promising Boxers selected and provided opportunities and the best atmosphere for these young fighters to thrive and make a difference.
Unlike the general assertion amongst the public, VVIP fight night is not an elitist event. It is open to all and the club seeks to raise funds to help the boxers and their gyms.
Kick Boxing and Martial Arts also remain sports competitions that the Club seeks to promote as collaborative efforts continue with Academies in the search for the best Ghana has to offer.
