Nigerian boxing champions, Olaide âFijabornâ Fijabi and Waidi âSkoroâ Usman, have vowed to demolish their African opponents on October 1, 2017.
While Fijabi, the West African Boxing Union (WABU) light welterweight champ, will be defending his title against Ghanaâs Ben âCongo Soldierâ Ankrah, Skoro will take on Tanzaniaâs Juma Fundi to defend the West African Boxing Union (WABU) featherweight title.
Speaking in Lagos on Friday, Fijabi said his opponent will rue the day he agreed to challenge him for the title.
âI donât know who encouraged him to seek to fight me. Whoever or whatever did will discover that this is a different Fijabi. Ankrah will kiss the canvas in the third round. I will daze him,â he boasted.
âI donât believe in the saying âhe didnât know what hit himâ because people usually know what hit them, but are unable to do anything about it. I will hit him till he surrenders,â he bragged.
The West African Boxing Union (WABU) light welterweight and featherweight champions have promised to wow fans and spectators at the GOtv Boxing Night 12, which holds at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Lagos.
Other fights will see Stanley âEdo Boyâ Eribo of Nigeria defending his title from the grasp of Ramadhani Shauri of Tanzania, while Nigeriaâs Oto âJoe Boyâ Joseph seek to become the first winner of the Commonwealth Africa lightweight crown when he takes on Israel Kwwamwamba of Malawi.
Also in the lightweight category, Rilwan âReal Oneâ Oladosu will fight Samuel âOmo Daddyâ Olaogun in a challenge duel. The light welterweight category will equally see Rilwan âBaby Faceâ fight Christmas âTornadoâ Tombraye. In the light heavyweight division, Kabiru âKB Godsonâ Towolawi will go up against Akeem âAKâ Adebayo.
The event will be broadcast live by SuperSport in 47 African countries.
