FAST rising light welterweight boxer, Rilwan “Baby Face”
Babatunde, has dismissed the chances of his opponent, Waliu “Oganla”
Arogundade, to last the distance when they clash at GOtv Boxing Night 11.
Speaking ahead of the event holding on March 26 at the
Liberty Stadium, Ibadan, Baby Face said his opponent is not his match and will
fall in no time.
“I have observed him. He has been in the sport longer
than I have, but I am more talented and I hungry for success. He is unfortunate
to meet me at this stage of my career,” said the young boxer.
Baby Face, a product of GOtv NextGen Search, rose to
limelight at GOtv Boxing Night 7, where he defeated Tope “Berinja” Agboola.
The headline fight
on the night will be the West African Boxing Union lightweight title fight
between reigning West African lightweight king, Oto “Joe Boy” Joseph and
Ghanaian boxer, Anma Dotse. Dotse has vowed avenge the defeat of numerous
Ghanaian boxers in Nigeria by shortening the reign of Joe Boy.
In another international bout, Olaide “Fijaborn” Fijabi,
national and West African light welterweight champion, will swap punches with
Togolese Sunday Yao. Fijabi will be fighting in his hometown.
Two Ibadan-based
boxers, Akeem “Dodo” Sadiku and Sadiq “Happy Boy” Adeleke will be in action. Dodo, revered in Ibadan, will fight Kazeem
“KC Confidence” Saka in a lightweight duel, while Sadiq “Happy Boy” Adeleke
will take on Taiwo “Twin Warrior” Kareem. The light heavyweight will have
Adewale “Masevex” Masebinu fighting Kabiru “KB Godson” Towolawi in a challenge
duel.
The best boxer on the night will win a N1million cash
prize and the Mojisola Ogunsanya Memorial Trophy.
The event, sponsored by GOtv, with the support of the Federal
Inland Revenue Service, MultiChoice, Brila FM, KSquare Security, Paragonis
Multimedia Limited, Bond FM, Complete Sports, ZetaWeb and Newsbrea.ng, will be
broadcast live on SuperSport in 47 African countries.
