Stakeholders hail Yucateco boxing trials In Ilorin

Posted : 15 July 2024

The Yucateco boxing trials held in Kwara State have continued to receive plaudits from various quarters.


The event, staged at the sports hall of Queen Elizabeth School in Ilorin on Saturday, July 14th, had several boxing fans and dignitaries in attendance to cheer on over fifty pugilists from across the state.


The Boxing Coaches Association in Kwara State, in a letter, requested Yucateco Boxing Promotions to stage a scouting program in Ilorin for young pugilists.


According to the Technical Director of the Yucateco Boxing League, Babatunde Laguda, the organization has discovered a number of talented pugilists at the trials, and they will be supported with subsequent training and exposure.


"I am happy we were able to pull this through despite our very tight schedule, with preparations in top gear for Season 2 of the boxing league.


“We are truly encouraged by the turnout of not only the boxers but also the fans who came out in large numbers to support the cause.”


“Those we have selected among the pugilists will be given further consideration and a more structured platform to continue their growth and development.


“There is a wealth of boxing talent in Kwara State, and we hope to do this again sometime,” Laguda noted.


With the conclusion of the trials in Kwara State, attention will now shift to the boxing league, which kicks off with the first week of bouts in Lagos on Friday, July 26th.


Twelve boxing clubs have been accredited for Season 2 of the Yucateco Boxing League. The winner of the second season, which debuted in 2023, will receive a prize of N50 million.
