an interview that his days as an amateur boxer were over and will move on to the next level after achieving his dream of winning an Olympic medal in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr Lamptey, the young boxer is not ready to fight as a professional and misunderstood the question asked hence his answer to fight professionally.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Class Sports, Mr Lamptey said: \u201cNo he\u2019s not turning professional as at now it was a question they asked him and he didn\u2019t think of it very well but I\u2019ve spoken to him and he had no idea so that interview can be discarded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s focusing on his amateur career, I\u2019ve spoken to his management and they were also surprised and so in a nut shell he has shelved that decision and focusing on
