The Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium will come alive today as it plays host to the biggest boxing event of the year, the ninth edition of GOtv Boxing Night.
The seven-fight professional event will feature boxers in various weight classes, with the best boxer of the event going home with a cash prize of N1.5million.
The two headline bouts lined up will see a reboot of the Ghana/ Nigeria sporting rivalry. Olaide ‘Fijaborn” Fijabi, national lightweight champion, faces the Ghanaian threat represented by Raphael “Iron King” Kwabena King in an international challenge contest. Additional threat from Ghana comes in the shape of Richard “Desert Warrior” Amefu, who takes on Oto “Joe Boy” Joseph, the national lightweight champion.
Yet another big one is the national cruiserweight title duel between incumbent champion, Ekeng “Fighting Policeman” Henshaw, and Idowu “ID Cabasa” Okusote.
Also in the lightweight category is the duel between Prince “Lion” Nwoye and Sikiru “Omo Iya Eleja” Shogbesan. The light heavyweight division offers two bouts. One is between reigning national champion, Jude “Great Jude” Iloh and Adewale “Masevex” Masebinu, while the other will see Emmanuel “Man Mopol” Igwe clash with Kabiru “KB Godson” Towolawi. The light middleweight division brings Ebubechukwu “Coded Man” Edeh face to face with Semiu “Jagaban” Olapade.
As part of the fun, the organisers, Flykite Productions, will provide a giant LED screen at the venue for fans to watch the title decider between Enugu Rangers and El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri.
GOtv Boxing Night, which is supported by MultiChoice, Paragonis Multimedia Limited, KSquare Security, Bond FM, Complete Sports, newsbreak.ng and Brila FM, will be broadcast live in 47 African countries by SuperSport.
