Ghanaian boxer Patrick Allotey has been banned for misconduct during a Ghana Premier League clash between arch-rivals Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko last month.
The 29-year-old welterweight faced disciplinary action after being spotted in a viral post-match online video beating up a co-spectator following a brief misunderstanding during the fixture at the Accra Sports Stadium in January. The victim sustained serious bruises on the face.
Allotey will be out of the ring for six months as a result of Thursday's ruling.
"We refer to the Disciplinary Proceedings conducted by the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) yesterday the 5th day of February 2020 into the charges of misconduct levelled against you in wake of the Accra Sports Stadium incident," a sighted GBA letter signed by president Peter Zwennes and addressed to Allotey reads.
