The international super featherweight challenge bout between
the two boxers is one of the major fights lined up for the event, which will be
held at the Molade Okoya Indoor Sports Hall of the Teslim Balogun Stadium,
Lagos.
Real One, who won the WBF title at GOtv Boxing Night 22,
boasted that his clash with the Ghanaian will be a procession.
“I’m familiar with Amateifo and Ghanaian boxers, many of
whom I’ve defeated. He will be seriously punished. The bout is made more
important to me because of the rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana. I will make
Nigeria proud,” he said.
His namesake and fellow WBF champion, Rilwan “Baby Face”
Babatunde will also be in action. The WBF (Intercontinental) welterweight
champion will seek redemption after his first professional loss in the Ukraine.
He is scheduled to face Republic of Benin’s Naimou Aziz Samson in an
international welterweight challenge duel.
Another major bout on the night will be the national light
welterweight title defence between Taiwo “Joy Boy” Olowu, reigning champion;
and the ambitious Isaac “I-Star” Chukwudi.
The event will also give fans the opportunity of watching
former national lightweight champion, Nurudeen “Prince” Fatai, who is billed to
fight Rilwan “Show Boy” Lawal in a featherweight duel. Light heavyweight star,
Segun “Success” Olanrewaju will test his mettle against Fatai “Hit Man”
Balogun, while Abiodun “Infiniti” Afinni will duel with Michael “Emirate”
Godwin in the cruiserweight category.
Two alumni of GOtv Boxing NextGen Search, Abolade “B. Bee”
Balogun and Segun “Adeyemi” will make their professional debut in a
welterweight challenge fight that will show how far they have come.
The event, to be broadcast live on SuperSport across Africa,
will be held with full observance of Covid-19 safety protocols.
