Nigeria’s new light heavyweight boxing champion, Adewale “Masevex” Masebinu says he has a strong desire to now win the West African Boxing Union (WABU) title, sports247.ng reports.
The Ekiti-born boxer became the national champion the previous weekend, following his win by knockout against Kabiru “KB Godson” Towolawi at Sir Molade Okoya-Thomas Hall of Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.
Masebinu dominated the fight against Towolawi, restricting his opponent to harmless jabs while stinging him at every opportunity.
From the third round, Towolawi was dazed, yet stayed on till the end of the fifth round, but then indicated his inability to continue when the bell for the sixth round rang.
Consequently, Masebinu, who avenged his previous defeat by the same opponent, said he is proud of his achievement and declared that his eyes are now set on winning the regional title.
Masebinu said: “The next step is the WABU title. I’m sure of winning. I was sure I’d defeat Towolawi and through determination, I did. The same applies to the WABU title.
“I will continue to train hard and remain focused, ready and able to take on anybody once the opportunity presents itself.”
