Azumah Nelson and GCB Bank to host Zoom Zoom Clinics
Legendary boxer Azumah Nelson, known affectionately as “The Professor” for his strategic prowess in the ring, is set to launch an inspiring new initiative: the Zoom Zoom Clinics.
This ambitious program, sponsored by GCB Bank, will roll out in four (4)regions, aiming to combine mentorship, boxing training, and community engagement to uplift and empower young people.
A Champion’s Vision for Change
Azumah Nelson’s storied career as a world champion boxer has made him a household name, not only in Ghana but globally. Now, he is channelling his passion and experience into a program that seeks to provide more than just physical training. The Zoom Zoom Clinics are designed to impart valuable life skills, promote health and fitness, and build resilience and discipline among youth.
“Boxing taught me discipline, perseverance, and the importance of hard work,” said Nelson. “With the Zoom Zoom Clinics, I want to pass on these lessons to the next generation, helping them to achieve their full potential both inside and outside the ring and classroom.”
“Speaking about GCB Bank’s partnership with the Zoom Zoom Clinics, Mr Kofi Adomakoh, MD of GCB Bank said “Sports is one key avenue to bring about societal change and improve the lives of individuals. For us at GCB Bank, sports is one of our focus areas. We believe that by supporting this initiative, we will contribute to shaping the next generation of local talents to become tomorrow’s international icons in the boxing world and beyond”
He added that “our partnership with the Azumah Nelson Boxing Promotions exemplifies our commitment to community and social interventions especially for the youth. Together with Azumah’s outfit, GCB Bank will provide and support the youth with the right ecosystem to hone their skills and groom their talents to become significant contributors to the growth of Ghana”.
The Zoom Zoom Clinics will be hosted in four (4)regions, each session is meticulously planned to have a mentorship session where Azumah Nelson shares his life journey, offering motivational talks, and providing guidance on overcoming challenges and setting ambitious goals.
There will be a boxing training session where participants will receive basic boxing instruction, focusing on techniques, fitness, and sportsmanship.
The maiden Zoom Zoom Clinics will take place in Greater Accra, Northern, Ashanti and Western regions in July and August 2024. The success of the Zoom Zoom Clinics is built on strong partnerships with Ghana Education Service (GES), Ghana Boxing Federation, Boxing Academies and community organizations. These partnerships ensure that the program reaches a wide audience and integrates seamlessly into the local community fabric.
Azumah Nelson’s Zoom Zoom Clinics are set to make a significant impact across selected regions, combining the power of sport with the wisdom of a champion to inspire and uplift the next generation. As the program rolls out, communities can look forward to the positive changes that come from empowering their youth, promoting health, and fostering resilience.
This initiative not only underscores Azumah Nelson’s legacy as a boxing legend but also cements his role as a mentor and community leader, dedicated to making a lasting difference in the lives of young people.
