British boxing champion Anthony Joshua has paid a courtesy visit to President John Dramani Mahama at the Jubilee House, where the two discussed ways of transforming Ghana's sports landscape.
The meeting, held on Monday, June 16, brought together key figures, including the Minister for Youth and Sports, Kofi Adams, the CEO of Legacy Rise Sports, and the President's son, Sharaf Mahama.
Speaking at the gathering, Joshua reflected on how far his sports journey had brought him: "Sports has got me in a room like this, so I understand the importance of talking with my fists but also how influential sports can be and the type of rooms you can get into." The former heavyweight champion also revealed he has been in touch with friends and associates to explore investment opportunities in Ghana. "I've been calling friends and speaking about ways that we can bring investment into Ghana, Africa, because I understand some of your policies and what you're trying to do," he told President Mahama. "From a sportsman's perspective, I understand sports is short-lived and we cross over into business." President Mahama commended Joshua for using his global stature to support African development and expressed readiness to collaborate on initiatives that would empower Ghanaian youth through sports and entrepreneurship.
