World Class Athletes Promotions on Friday said that plans were underway for Nigeria’s Larry Ekundayo to defend his IBF European Welterweight crown on home soil.
According to the promoters, the fight night will be heated with another sensational boxer, Nigeria’s current WBF (African) Cruserweight Champion Tony Salam “Sugar’’, fighting for the WBO Cruserweight title.
Also on the fight card for the night are some home grown talents such as Rilwal Lawal and Taiwo Olowu among six other boxers that will be fighting for vacant national titles.
“We are happy to announce to the public that Nigeria’s Salam and Ekundayo will be fighting come June 30 here in Lagos Nigeria.
“So many boxers within their range are contacted as regards the fight night and as soon as we solidify everything, we will also make the general public aware of the developments.
“It will be spectacular events where boxing will be mixed with entertainment and lots of good security and fun for the family to watch and enjoy,’’ Fawaz said.
Fawas added that his dream was to take Nigerian boxing to the top of the top where he could make things happen for the boxers to realise their dreams which was being the best at their craft.
