"We would ensure that there is adequate detachment of policemen. There would also be regular patrol of the venue the basis a patrol team who will be around to assist.

"We have also done security mapping of the place and so we are convinced, there would not be lapses," he added.

Mr. Foh-Amoaning said, they were working through the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Ministry of Interior to provide maximum security for the night as well as subsequent nights. 

Boxing fans are set to be thrilled at the second week of the boxing league this Friday with over 18 interesting fights including, six juvenile, ten amateur and three professional fights which are national championships.
