Two Nigerian fencers for World Fencing Championships

By Daily Sports Nigeria on July 14, 2025

Three months after making their international debut at the World Junior Championships in China, Nigeria’s rising fencing stars, Inkosi Brou and Wisdom Okanlawon, are set to compete at the prestigious 2025 World Fencing Championships, scheduled to take place in Tbilisi, Georgia, from July 22 to 30.

Inkosi Brou, who reached the knockout stage at the recently concluded 23rd African Fencing Championships in Lagos, will undergo a training tour in France before heading to Georgia.

Ranked 75th in the world, the teenage sabreur will compete in the men’s individual sabre event.

Okanlawon, widely regarded as Nigeria’s top homegrown fencer, will also make his first appearance at the global level and will compete in the men’s individual épée event.

The World Fencing Championships will feature individual and team events across all three weapons—foil, épée, and sabre—for both men and women.

In addition to competing against the world’s best, both athletes have been selected to participate in the International Fencing Federation training camp, which will precede the championships. The camp, running from July 16 to 21 at the Tbilisi Olympic Palace, will feature elite coaching and international collaboration, offering a unique opportunity for skill development and global exposure.

According to the FIE, the training camp will be led by world-renowned coaches including Zoran Tulum (sabre), Kuki Patru (foil), and Bela Kopetka (épée).

Over 50 fencers from around the world are expected to attend, making it a dynamic environment for learning, competition preparation, and international camaraderie.

“The camp will offer fencers the chance to train with peers from around the world, participate in group sessions, and elevate their game through video analysis, tactical workshops, and fun team-building activities,” the FIE said in a statement.
