Nigerian boxing sensation Basit “Jokerboy” Adebayo is preparing to fight for the World Boxing Organization Youth International lightweight title against Tanzanian challenger Suleiman Sheha on April 18.
The 20-year-old Nigerian champion, fresh off his dominant national lightweight title victory in February, will face the 22-year-old Tanzanian powerhouse at the Balmoral Convention Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Adebayo’s journey to this pivotal moment has been nothing short of remarkable.
Just last month, he clinched the vacant national lightweight title with a commanding unanimous decision victory against Segun Gbobaniyi, a performance that highlighted his potential with a first-round knockdown.
Event organizers, Balmoral Group, who have been instrumental in providing platforms for emerging boxing talents, continue to support young fighters like Adebayo.
Ezekiel Adamu, CEO of Balmoral Group, has previously praised the quality of boxing talent emerging from such events.
