The 28th edition of GOtv Boxing Night fully delivered with multiple knockouts on display at the Molade Okoya-Thomas Indoor Sports Hall of Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos on Monday.
The event featured seven bouts with three KOs across different weight categories, including in the main event between London-based World Boxing Federation Intercontinental featherweight champion, Taiwo ‘Esepor’ Agbaje, and Twalib Tuwa of Tanzania.
Ahead of the showdown, the boxers were involved in a war of words, with Agbaje, who is ranked 39th in the world by the WBF, bragging that he will “eat up” his opponent, Tuwa, like the popular Nigerian meal, Tuwo.
“Tuwa sounds like Tuwo to me. Tuwo is a light, easy-to-eat and digest food. I have no doubt that Tuwa is the same and will be eaten and digested with ease like Tuwo Shinkafa,” Esepor boasted.
