Fans are set to be treated to six potentially explosive boxing bouts as 12 boxers vie for the Mojisola Ogunsanya Memorial Trophy and a cash prize of N1m at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos on Tuesday.
Scheduled for the night are four national challenge bouts, one national and one sub-regional title bouts.
One of the title bouts has national welterweight title holder, Taiwo ‘Gentle Boy’ Olowu, faceoff with Alidu Sulemana of Ghana for the West African Boxing Union super welterweight title.
Sulemana has a record of 10 wins and eight knockouts from his 10 professional fights, while Olowu, has a record of 15 wins and one defeat from his 16 professional fights.
