The Ghana Boxing Authority has summoned WBO Africa Super welterweight champion Patrick Allotey to appear before its Disciplinary Authority.

In a statement which was released by the authority on Tuesday afternoon, the regulatory body ordered Patrick Allotey to appear before the Disciplinary and Arbitration Committee of the GBA on Wednesday, February 5, 2020, at 1 pm.

The boxer was captured in a viral video bettering a defenceless Kotoko football fan who has been identified as Micheal Siaw at the Accra Sports Stadium last Sunday.

The statement says the boxer will be made to answer why a licensed professional boxer should not be sanctioned for gross misconduct and also bringing the name of the sport into disrepute.
