Three fighters stole the show at a major boxing event in Lagos. Tobiloba Ijomoni, Sadiq Adeleke, and Saddam Oladipupo became the main topics of conversation at the GOtv Boxing Night festival held at Tafawa Balewa Square, with Adeleke and Oladipupo winning national titles and Ijomoni grabbing the best boxer trophy and a one million naira prize.
Adeleke, nicknamed Happy Boy, took the super bantamweight championship from Durotimi Agboola in a ten-round majority decision. Oladipupo, called Baby Boxer, became the new lightweight champ by unanimously outpointing Imole Oloyede. The Smiling Assassin Ijomoni earned his honor and cash award after a clear decision win over Segun Gbobaniyi in a separate lightweight contest.
The undercard saw several fights end early, with Emmanuel Abimbola stopping an undefeated opponent and Toheeb Hassan scoring a technical knockout. Ghanaian fighter Nii Offei Dodoo was also stopped by Nigeria's Rasheed Idowu. The night included musical and comedy acts, with sponsorship from several companies and acknowledgements to local government support.
