Recently, the Lightweight boxing superstar, Emmanuel ‘Ability’ Abimbola, has been training hard to ensure he grabs the N1m cash prize for the best boxer at GOtv Boxing Night 31, the Mojisola Memorial Ogunsanya Trophy.
The boxing event will be holding 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.
It was gathered that the boxer took home 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.
Hear him, “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.
Meanwhile the national welterweight category will have 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.
