Boxing fans are set to experience ‘Chaos in the Ring’, an event featuring electrifying live boxing matches and a viewing experience of the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois clash.
The event will take place today at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Federal Palace, Victoria Island.
Ahead of the upcoming event, Game Rush held a weigh-in event for the Nigerian boxing champions on , Friday September 20, giving fans a preview of the intensity to expect.
