Ghana stops boxing now. Two boxers die this year. The first man dies in March, the second man dies after his fight in Accra.

The leaders say no boxing for three months. They need this time to make new rules to keep boxers safe. A group checks how to make boxing better.

Many people in Ghana love boxing. It is a big sport. Some famous boxers come from Ghana. But now, people feel sad and want to make boxing safe.

Difficult words: rule (something you must or must not do), check (to look at something to make sure it is correct or safe), famous (popular or well-known).
