Theophilus Allotey

Theophilus Nii Kpakpo Allotey is a Ghanaian boxer. He started boxing at a very tender age and passed through the juvenile stage, Black Rocket before he was promoted to the senior level to be part of the Black Bombers.

In 2021, Allotey was selected to be part of Black Bombers, the Ghana boxing team.

In 2022, he won gold at the 2022 Individual Championships held at the Accra Sports Stadium and Bukom Boxing Arena. In June 2022, there were frustrations after he was left out of Ghana's squad for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. This was because the competition was also a selection event for the boxing team. These comments included ones from the coach of the Black Bombers, Kwasi Ofori Asare coming out publicly to say that Allotey was in the nine-member squad for the games, well endorsed by all stakeholders and therefore he had no idea why he had been dropped by the Ghana Boxing Federation.

He competed in the men's flyweight event at the 2023 African Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament. He lost his semi-final bout with Ala Eddine Zidi and therefore lost a spot to qualify for the Olympics even though he secured a bronze medal by reaching the semi-finals.

In March 2024, Allotey competed in the 2024 World Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament 1 in Italy. He competed in the 51 kg winning his first two bouts before being eliminated.

In 2024, He competed in the flyweight boxing category during the 2023 African Games hosted by Ghana. He was highly rated amongst the top boxers to possibly earn Ghana a gold medal but he fell short after being defeated by Olympic-bound Patrick Chinyemba in the semi-final. The defeat meant he had to settle for the bronze medal.
