In 2017, she stopped boxing and started selling lottery tickets to earn money. It took a lot of convincing from her coach to get her back into the ring in 2021. She could not afford a manager, and feared she would not make it without one.In Ghana, she said, “female boxers do not receive much support and it is difficult to keep training.”

Abigail Kwartekaa Quartey defies norms to become Ghana’s first female boxing champion, despite her family’s initial pleas to quit. Hailing from Jamestown, a hub for boxing stars, Quartey proves boxing isn’t just for men.Sarah Lotus Asare, a boxing coach and the project lead for the Girls Box Tournament, said Quartey’s world title meant a lot for all boxers in Ghana.“Even for the male boxers, when they fight with non-Africans, it’s very difficult for them to win, because they have a lot more facilities and equipment than we do,” she said.

The scenes here are clunky and don’t always move the story along — there’s an aimless but moderately funny one of Wolff speed dating. But once Braxton shows up — another awkward and labored character introduction, by way of a “Wizard of Oz” surrounded by dead bodies — “The Accountant 2” clicks into idiosyncratic place.

What that place “The Accountant 2” occupies probably wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny, let alone an audit. For a movie about a detail obsessive, it’s curiously messy. But — and this might matter more — the film has a reasonably firm sense of just how serious and how knowingly silly a movie about an uber-talented accountant ought to be.There is also just a wisp of real-life relevancy. By centering an accountant thriller on the fate of a migrant family, “The Accountant 2” might even be said to be timely. The Trump administration is in the midst of
