By Daily Sports Nigeria on September 4, 2023

 

Nigerian professional boxing promotion has received a big boost following the decision of Chief Emeka Agba to join the list of Nigerian boxing promoters 
In order to achieve this noble dream, he has set up Emeka Agba Boxing Promotions, a subsidiary of  Chief Emeka Agba Foundation charged with promoting Nigerian fighters to become world champions.
As a first step in this direction, his boxing promotion outfit has already put modalities on ground to organise a boxing championship at the National Stadium Surulere Lagos on November 11.
According to the fight fixtures, the boxing extravaganza tagged " Ring Matardos' and sanctioned by the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control (NBB of C) will have a  cruiserweight challenge contest between Muritador  Monyashau and Godwin Ambrose serving as the main bout.
Other fights on the card of the championship are; national super welterweight fight between Henry Abolokeji and Segun Afikun while  Muyideen ljalo will face  Hammed Adedokun in a national lightweight challenge contest.
Also, Lucky Oyibo will slug it out with Ibrahim Shobusi in a national light welterweight challenge contest with Ezekiel Etukeren meeting Sunday Igiebor in another national lightweight fight just as Dimeji Salami will be up against TBA in a national super middleweight challenge contest.
According to the Secretary General of Nigeria Boxing Board of Control (NBB of C), Remi Aboderin,  Emeka Agba Boxing Promotions has put all modalities on ground for a successful championship that will announce their arrival in boxing promotion in the country, assuring that fans will be treated to the best of professional boxing on that day.
"The boxers we have lined up are worthy fighters who will give fans value of their money. It will also enable the boxers get more experience and exposure in their quest to progress further in the paid ranks.
" I must also commend Emeka Agba Promotions for joining the list of boxing promoters in the country which will help in giving our boxers hope and  greater opportunity to have regular fights and be in a position to get good  rankings and progress further in the profession.
" It's equally a thing of joy that we're now having many promoters coming around to invest in professional boxing which is an evidence of the transformation the NBB of C is bringing to bear on the sports", he stressed 
Aboderin also announced that the championship will be used to celebrate the birthday of the promoter whom he described as very passionate about boxing.
