The altercation occurred at the team's hotel when the players and management met to settle a bonus argument after the players boycotted training.

"When it came to my turn to talk, I encouraged the players to be patient while we all waited for the finances in Brazil as the President promised," Moses Armah recalled.

He stated he had hardly completed speaking when Muntari stood up and yelled at him to shut up, to the surprise of everyone there.

"He then approached slapping me in the face. But since he was a player, I delayed to reply until he gave me another slap which infuriated me, compelling me to reply with a heavy blow straight to his face that sent the star reeling to the floor," he added.

Meanwhile, at an interview with Ghanaian radio station Happy FM in 2016, the businessman revealed he had forgiven Muntari for the incident. Due to the incident, Muntari, together with Kevin-Prince Boateng were sent home early from the Ghana camp. The then Ghana head coach James Kwesi Appiah reported the details in his book called Leaders Don't have to Yell.
