Lightweight boxing superstar, Emmanuel ‘Ability’ Abimbola, has his eyes on the Mojisola Memorial Ogunsanya Trophy and the N1m cash prize for the best boxer at GOtv Boxing Night 31.
The boxing event is scheduled to hold at the Molade Okoya-Thomas Indoor Sports Hall of the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos on May 1.
Abimbola’s lightweight challenge fight against Azeez Ayobami is one of the seven cracking bouts of the night.
The boxer won the prize barely a year ago and said it would make a good anniversary to win it again. Abimbola defeated Prince ‘Lion’ Nwoye via a unanimous decision to win the prize at GOtv Boxing Night 28 May 1, 2023.
“It was my best day as a boxer. I still remember the win like it happened yesterday. This coming fight will be exactly a year since I won the N1m. So, I want to make it a year to remember with another win on the same date at the same venue. I have the ability to make it happen again, Azeez cannot stop me,” he said.
In the other clashes, Adeyemi ‘Spirit’ Adekanla will battle Segun ‘War’ Adeyemi for the West African Boxing Union light welterweight title in what promises to be a cracker. Hard-punching boxer, Hammed ‘Ese’ Ganiyu, will also take on Yusuf Ogunbumi in a light welterweight national challenge fight.
The national welterweight category will see Raheem ‘Baddo’ Animashaun faceoff with Samuel ‘Apata Roro’ Moses; Sikiru ‘Isho’ Ogunyaju will confront current national flyweight champion, Sifon ‘Best’ Iwatt, in a national flyweight challenge fight; Adewale Oladeji will slug it out with Afikun Gbenga in the super welterweight category, while Sikiru ‘Omo Iya Eleja’ Shogbesan will square up against Bartholomew Abuchi in the national catch weight category.
