Founder of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Pastor Mensah Otabil has revealed that, as a young man, his ambition was to become a heavyweight boxer.
He hinted that he fancied the sport, growing up, but retreated and turned to the pulpit after receiving some heavy punches at the early stages.
�I fancied boxing, while growing up. I wanted to become a heavyweight boxer, but after a few knock outs, I decided to become a pastor.
�Azumah�s life challenged me and many Ghanaians. Most unusual of him is going to his opponent�s territory and beating them,� Otabil said.
The Central Gospel senior pastor was among the high profile dignitaries like President Rawlings, Kennedy Agyapong, (Kenpong), Dr Sam Jonah who graced the launch of Azumah Nelson�s news book.
He prayed for the boxing professor and his family for God�s protection after putting smiles on the faces of Ghanaians in his decade-long reign as a world champion.
Pastor Otabil�s concern about healthy living has led to the annual �Life Walk� exercise, a campaign to drum home the importance of healthy living.
