"You are hereby summoned to appear before the Disciplinary and Arbitration Committee of the GBA on Wednesday the 5th day of February 2020 at 1 pm to show cause why you a licensed professional boxer (sic) should not be sanctioned not only for gross misconduct but also for bringing the name of the sport into disrepute,” a section of the statement reads.
Allotey is currently the WBO Africa Super welterweight champion, but risks facing sanctions for his actions.
The pro boxer beat up football fan during last Sunday’s game between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko at the Accra sports stadium.

A viral video captured him in an altercation with the fan, identified as Michael Siaw, before matters quickly escalated.
After a bit of tussle between the two men, Allotey grabbed the spectator by his shirt and delivered three jabs to his face.
The said fan sustained a deep cut on the eye, with a separate photo capturing him at a hospital to stitch the gashed eye.
Meanwhile, Allotey has since rendered an unqualified apology to the victim.
