<p>Theophilus Allotey was the country’s last hope of sealing a place at this year’s Olympic Games in Paris but he suffered defeat to South Korea’s Inkyu Kim.</p>

<p>Allotey had been Ghana’s brightest spot at the qualifying tournament, having won his previous two bouts to advance to the quarterfinals.</p>

<h2>All Ghanaian boxers fail to qualify for Olympic Games</h2>

<p>However, that was as far as he got, as he was denied qualification to the Olympic Games after being stopped by Inkyu Kim during Sunday's fight via a 3-2 split decision.</p>

<p>Allotey’s loss means each of the seven boxers who represented Ghana in the qualifying tournament in Italy have all now been eliminated.</p>

<p>Alfred Kotey was the first to lose after he was beaten by Czech Republic’s Milos Bartl in the Men’s Light Middleweight division.</p>

<p>There was further misery for Team Ghana when UK-born Mark Kodjovi Ahondjo also succumbed to a disappointing defeat, while Jonathan Tetteh was also eliminated from the light heavyweight contest.</p>

<h2>One last opportunity for Black Bombers</h2>

<p>Last Thursday, Olympic bronze medallist Samuel Takyi suffered a disappointing loss to Japanese opponent Shion Nishiyama.</p>

<div class="embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">“Another one bites the dust” <br><br>Ghana’s Samuel Takyi who won BRONZE in Tokyo has just lost to his Japanese opponent Shion Nishiyana in the Men&#39;s Light Welterweight Olympic qualifier. It was a unanimous decision win for the Japanese (5-0) 🇬🇭 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/3Sports?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#3Sports</a> <a href="https://t.co/j64erRHh0x">pic.twitter.com/j64erRHh0x</a></p>&mdash; Yaw (@theyawofosu) <a href="https://twitter.com/theyawofosu/status/1765106119892938973?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 5, 2024</a></blockquote>

<p>The 23-year-old was completely dominated by Nishiyama, who romped to a comfortable victory via a 5-0 unanimous decision in the Men's Light Welterweight division (63.5Kg).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>This comes after all 12 boxers who represented Ghana in the Olympic Games qualifiers in Dakar, Senegal, in September 2023 were also all eliminated.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Ghana's boxing team, the Black Bombers, will have one final chance to qualify for the Olympics at the qualifying tournament in Bangkok, Thailand in May.</p>
