Why Is Ghana So Good At Boxing? I WorldWideWhat?!

We traveled to the world-famous boxing district in Ghana, Bukom, located in Accra.
Home of no less than 10 world boxing champions!

Among them is the GOAT boxer from Africa: Azumah Nelson. We take a look around Azumah Nelson's old gym, talk to the athletes, and want to know what the athletes need today to fight and compete at the top in the African boxing hotspot?

To understand this better, I accompanied the young boxer Theophilus Allotey before a decisive fight. And had a look around the "slum of champions".
