WBO Africa Super Bantamweight champion Patrick Allotey has been banned for six months by Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) after he was found guilty of misconduct and bringing the sport into disrepute.
The charge of misconduct for which Allotey has been sanctioned relates to him assaulting a football fan at the Accra Sports last month.
Allotey beat up the fan who has been identified as Micheal Siaw during the Ghana Premier League top-linear between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.

The Association says it found Allotey guilty on his own plea and his suspension takes effect from February 6.
The country’s boxing governing body also says it will notify the global sanctioning bodies about this development.
