I’ll be a world boxing champion soon - Aliu

WITH two Technical Knock Outs, (TKO) in two professional boxing bouts, one of Nigeria’s emerging Bantamweight boxer, Lasisi  Aliu is upbeat of becoming a world champion in his weight category.


The Qatari-based pugilist few weeks ago defeated Payu Sor Kounlavung of Thailand in the opening round and cruised to a lopsided unanimous decision victory. All three judges – Edward Ligas, Mekin Sumon and Sawaeng Thaweekoon – had it 60-53.

In a chat with sportsbiz247.blogspot.com from his base, Lucky Boy as fondly called disclosed that after defeating Kounlavung he is ready for any boxer.

Aliu, whose next fight will hold in September but his opponent has not been named said he is not worried about that as he is concentrating on his training ahead of the fight.

In his words, “With two wins from two fights, I’m battle ready for any boxer that comes my way in September, my next opponent is in for real trouble when we trade punches, I also do not want to know where the opponent is coming from.”


On how he is so confident of defeating his opponent, the Ajegunle-born pugilist said: “My coaching crew is working on me even when they don’t know who my opponent is, but I’m being subjected to rigorous training because they don’t want me to taken aback.”
