Boxing coach Mayowa seeks support for kidney treatment

By Daily Sports Nigeria on April 24, 2024

Coach Lasisi Mayowa, affectionately known as Coach Mayor within the boxing community, is currently facing a severe kidney problem that demands urgent medical attention, prompting an appeal for support from boxing enthusiasts.

Mayowa, a respected figure in the boxing fraternity, was admitted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in Ikeja on Sunday, April 21 due to his deteriorating condition.

His wife, Funmilayo, who is by his side at the hospital, said, “His (Mayowa) condition is very serious, and we are still awaiting test results.

“The doctors have indicated that they cannot determine the cost of treatment until the necessary tests are completed.”

The treatment for Mayowa is substantial, and his current resources are inadequate to cover the expenses. In light of this, he and his wife have made a plea for financial assistance to ensure that he receives the necessary medical care.

Contributions can be made to the account of Lasisi Mayowa at GTBank, with the account number 0132024908, Funmilayo said.

The boxing community has already rallied behind Mayowa, as over N40,000 was contributed by some members of the AIBA PRO BOXING Whatsapp Group that also contributed to aid late boxer and coach Jeremiah Okorodudu last year.

Expressing her gratitude to those who have extended assistance, Funmilayo said, “I want to thank everyone sending money to us; my family and I really appreciate it. The contributions and prayers have been invaluable, and we remain hopeful for continued support.”

Nigeria Boxing Federation Technical Director, Babatunde Laguda, told our correspondent that Mayowa was taken to the hospital after his health condition deteriorated.

“He was stable before but then the condition went out of hand on Sunday and they had to take him to the hospital. I did what I could and found a way to get the information on our Whatsapp Group, where they have been getting some assistance.

“He is a good coach and we hope his condition gets better,” Laguda said.

Coach Mayowa has produced several boxers from his club in Lagos and was also a pioneer member of the YUCATECO Boxing League. His children also took to the game with his son and daughter winning medals at the 2023 National Youth Festival in Asaba, Delta
State.
