A boxing bigwig just got a fancy belt for his efforts. Dr. Rafiu Ladipo, the President of the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control, received a special honorary belt from the World Boxing Bureau. The presentation happened in Lagos by Miyen Akiri of Prize Fighting.tv Promotions. The CEO of the WBB, Al-Rahim Burke, personally customized the award for Ladipo. He is the first Nigerian to get this recognition from the sanctioning body for his work in professional boxing.

Ladipo thanked the WBB president for the honor. He dedicated the belt to every member of his own board, working to elevate the sport in Nigeria. He called for more investors and promoters to join what he termed an exciting new era for professional boxing there. Ladipo stressed that collaboration and innovation are key to motivating new champions and inspiring the next generation. The World Boxing Bureau is based in Irvington, New Jersey. It operates as a sanctioning body providing competitive opportunities for up-and-coming male and female boxers to fight for its championship titles.
