Management of Monarch Events
and Promotion have declared their readiness to give Nigerian Professional
Boxing a big boost beginning with an International Boxing Carnival on April 7,
2018.
Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports that boxers from the United States of America,
United Kingdom, Nigeria and Ghana are among quality pugilists billed to thrill
Nigerian audience on April 7 at the Convention Centre, Eko Hotel and Suites,
Lagos.
MD/CEO of Monarch Events and
Promotion, Prince Stanley Williams, is emphatic that the likes of Damac ‘Chop
Chop’ Corley who lost to Floyd Mayweather in a WBC fight a few years back,
alongside Jesus Ortega, Aaron Coley, Paul Valinzuela and Eugene Buchmuller
would provide plenty of excitement come April 7.
“Monarch Events and
Promotions is about providing the best in entertainment. We have done great
boxing promotions in the past six years in the US and UK, but it’s time to
revolutionalise the sports in Nigeria.
‘This country has provided
quality boxers like late Dick Tiger Ihetu, Nojeen Maiyegun, Obisia Nwankpa, Joe
Lasisi, Samuel Peter, Davidson Andeh and lots more. We shall be honouring these
special guys on April 7”, began an optimistic Prince Williams.
“A promising Nigerian boxer,
King Davidson and Ghanaian Daniel Sowah will also fight for the vacant World
Boxing Union Super Middleweight title”, declared Prince Williams who promised
better deal for Nigerian boxers and boxing henceforth.
He admitted that boxing
facilities, including the Brai Ayonote Boxing Gym at the National Stadium, Surulere,
Lagos, supposedly the best in the country are in terrible state, advising that
radical provision of quality facilities are needed without further delay.
The World renowned boxing
promoter based in the United Kingdom hinted
that Monarch Events and Promotion
would unveil their package very soon while expressing gratitude to the Nigerian
Boxing Board of Control (NBB of C), headed by Dr. Rafiu Ladipo.
According to him, both
Monarch Events and NBB of C will work hand in hand towards boosting facilities and
boxing generally in the country.
