Godwin Jingle, the manager of Patrick Allotey, has hinted that they will appeal against the decision of the Ghana Boxing Authority [GBA] to ban the boxer.
The GBA recently banned the former World Boxing Organisation Super Welterweight Champion for six months for assault.
His ban follows his conduct at the Accra Sports Stadium on January 28 which brought the image of the sport into disrepute.
He was captured on video assaulting Asante Kotoko fan who has been identified as Michael Siaw, resulting in a deep cut on his left eye.
“Following the hearing, the GBA found you liable on your own plea and has imposed a six months suspension of your professional boxing licence as the appropriate sanction. The suspension takes effect from today 6th day of February 2020,” a portion of GBA statement read.
Reacting to the ban, Mr Jingle said although they welcome the ban they will appeal for mitigation.
“The ban is going to affect Patrick Allotey because plans were far advanced as we were arranging a bout for him so as to bounce back in a big way after losing to Mexican opponent Jaime Munguia in California last year,” he told Angel FM.
“We will appeal to the disciplinary committee or GBA as an organisation to reduce the ban to save his career,” he added.
