Reigning West African Boxing Union featherweight champion, Taiwo “Esepor” Agbaje, on Monday claimed the World Boxing Federation Intercontinental featherweight title at GOtv Boxing Night 27.

The Boxing Day show, which held at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos, also featured five other explosive bouts.

National super lightweight champion, Adeyemi “Spirit” Adekanla defeated the bullish Bartholomew Abuchi by unanimous decision to retain his belt and extend his unbeaten streak to 10 bouts, while Sikiru “Omo Iya Eleja” Shogbesan ended Sodiq Oyakojo’s reign as the national super featherweight champion by another unanimous decision.
