- The financial assistance offered to boxer Samuel Takyi after he won the bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Tokyo has been made clear by the Ghanaian Ministry of Youth and Sports.
- According to the Ministry, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s pledge of $20,000 to Takyi has been partially met thanks to the disbursement of $10,000.
- Once a thorough personal development plan is presented will the remaining $10,000 be provided. This is in response to rumors that Takyi had opted out of competing in the Dakar Olympic boxing qualifications for Paris 2024.
- A gift containing a vehicle, $10,000 in cash, and a further $20,000 for his future professional growth was revealed by President Akufo-Addo.
- On November 18, 2021, Takyi got the $10,000 cash award and a Nissan Sunny saloon valued at $20,000. This was certified by the Sports Ministry.
- But on December 16, 2022, he took $5,000 out of the $20,000 set aside for his growth, and on July 27, 2023, he took another $5,000 out, claiming it was for his training for the Paris 2024 Olympic qualifiers.
- According to the government, Takyi is still entitled $10,000, subject to the delivery of an acceptable personal development plan.
