Nigeria’s Odunayo Adekuoroye continued her unbeaten record at the Professional Wrestling League in India after defeating India’s Sangeeta Phogat in just three minutes and 59 seconds by technical superiority.
The Punjab Royals wrestler, Adekuoroye, overpowered Phogat sister, Sangeeta, representing Delhi Sultans, in the women’s 53kg. The dancing Nigerian wrestler proved her mettle from the very first minute of the bout and by the end of the opening round, she had already added 12 points to her kitty.
This was the second successive bout where the Olympian won by technical superiority.
Daily Sports reports that Adekuoroye began her campaign in the Season Two of the Pro Wrestling League by beating Jaipur Ninjas Betzabeth Arguello16-0 via technical superiority.
