The GBA’s decision, taken last Thursday after a Disciplinary Committee meeting, is as a result of breach of contract. Bukom Banku failed to honour a contract he had with Box Office Promotions for a rematch with Bastie Samir who handed him his first defeat. A source confirmed that the GBA’s Disciplinary Committee suspended the boxer’s licence following a round of hearings which concluded that the former African light heavyweight champion had breached his contract with Box Office Promotions. Hefty fineBukom Banku has also been ordered to pay GH¢17,000 to the CEO of Box Office Promotions, Alex Ntiamoah, who had paid the said amount as part of the boxer’s training allowance and purse. The Box Office Promotions CEO has also been granted special permission to seek relief from the courts if the boxer fails to pay the amount owed.
