Government To Settle Boxing Legend D.K Poison $45,000 He Loaned In 1976

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

President Nana Akufo Addo has approved an amount of 45,000 USD to be paid to Ghana’s boxing Legend, David Kotei, popularly known as D.K Poison.

D.K Poison, Ghana’s first ever boxing champion together with his lawyers sent a petition to the Presidency in September 2019 asking that he be paid the amount of 45,000 USD which he loaned to the state over 1976

After winning his second title defence against Shigefumi Fukuyama in Japan in 1976, D.K Poison was asked by the then Military government led by General Kutu Acheampong to loan proceeds from the fight to the state to enable it purchase mackerel during an economic crisis period.

According to D.K Poison he was only handed 34,000 USD out of his total fight purse of 75,000 USD.

He has since tried to retrieve his money from previous governtments but have been unsuccessful.

But in a letter signed by the Secretary to the President, Nana Asante Bediatuo, the finance Ministry have been directed to ensure that the money is paid to the 69 year old.

The letter indicated that the payment was being done on “compassionate grounds.”

“Ï write to convey the approval of the President of the Republic for an amount of forty-five Thousand United States Dollars (US$ 45,000) to be paid to Mr. David Kotei (a.k.a DK Poison) on compassionate grounds”.“By a copy of this letter, the Ministry of Finance is requested to take the necessary action to give effect to this directive.”
