The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has explained that he prefers boxing over football because the former places responsibility directly on the wrongdoers.
He said the difference between the two sports is that football, as a team sport, can be ruined by one player, whereas boxers take sole responsibility for their actions.
Using bribery as an example, he noted that one player can influence the result of a football match by taking a bribe, while a boxer would have to endure heavy beatings if they fix a bout.
“I like boxing. In football, one person can be bribed and cause the team to lose, ruining all the hard work of the team.
“But have you ever seen a boxer who has been bribed to lose a bout? If you take the bribe, you are the one who is going to suffer the beatings. So in boxing, the responsibility is fixed on the person who takes the bribe, but in football, one person can ruin everything by taking a bribe behind the team’s back. That is why I like boxing,” he said in an interview on Radio Gold.
Asiedu Nketiah, commonly known as General Mosquito, made his assertion when asked which team he supports.
It is worth stating that in both football and boxing, there have been many instances of bribery scandals that have plagued the sports, with authorities continuously amending rules to help curb the situation and keep the games competitive.
