Ekeng Henshaw

AHEAD of his national cruiserweight title defence at GOtv
Boxing Night 9 at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Lagos, on 2
October, Ekeng “Fighting Policeman” Henshaw has vowed to give his opponent
hell.
Speaking in Lagos on Tuesday, Henshaw, ranked seventh by
the African Boxing Union, said his opponent, Idowu “ID Cabasa” Okusote will be beaten
like he has never been.
“I’m aware that Cabasa won his last fight at GOtv Boxing
Night 7 via a first-round knockout. I would have done the same to him, but I
need to entertain the fans for much longer by punishing him well. I have fought
some of the best in weight division in Africa. Cabasa is still far behind. He
will suffer,” boasted the incumbent champion.
The challenger, however, considers the champion’s boast
as an impotent one, saying Henshaw is drunk on the fact that he is the title
holder.
“He is boasting that he is this and that. It is alright.
Talk is cheap. By the time I do to him what I did to Chibunky (first-round
knockout), he would know that Cabasa is king. I am being trained by one of
Nigeria’s best professional boxers and he will see the result of my training
when punches start landing on him. It’s Cabasa’s time. His time ends at GOtv
Boxing Night 9. Tell him I said so,” raved Cabasa also known as “Ojuelegba
Terror”.
The event, which features seven bouts, has two
mega-fights in the international lightweight challenge duel between Nigeria’s
Olaide “Fijaborn” Fijabi and Raphael “Iron King” Kwabena King of Ghana as well
as the national lightweight challenge duel between Richard “Desert Warrior”
Amenfu, also of Ghana.
GOtv Boxing Night 9 will feature four other fights in
different weight categories. The best boxer at the event will go home with a
cash prize of N1.5million.
