I owe my victory to coach Ofori Asare - Allotey after winning WBA Africa Gold Super Flyweight belt

Speaking in an exclusive interview with JoySports, Allotey credited his corner and manager for playing a key role in his victory. He said, "You could see my opponent is a very good boxer an awkward one. Those are the kind of boxers you don't want to fight because they'll do anything to distract you. But I listened to my corner and executed perfectly." Allotey also said, "I always say I see Coach Ofori Asare as my father. He has four daughters, but I see him as a dad. He's the one who trains me and gives me the game plan, so when I'm in the ring, I have to listen to him."
Allotey currently holds the WBO Africa Bantamweight title, the WBO Africa Super Flyweight title, as well as the National and UBO African titles in Ghana.
