	'''Ike Quartey''' was the youngest of 27 brothers and sisters. His father, Robert, was a court baliff in Accra and had a reputation as a tough street fighter. He began boxing at the age of seven, gaining his inspiration to box from his older half-brother [[Clement Quartey]] who captured the silver medal at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. Quartey, who had his first amateur bout at age 14, was trained by Dan Odamtten throughout his career.

	~~== Boxing Style ==~~

	Quartey's best weapon was his jab, which was considered to be one of the best in boxing while he was in his prime. He primarily relied on a "peek-a-boo" or "clam-shell" defense, which consisted of him allowing punches to land on his arms, elbows and gloves which he kept held tightly to his cheeks and ribcage.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ike_Quartey]
