Nollywood actor and Lagos State House of Assembly member, Hon. Desmond Elliot, has pledged an exhilarating evening of boxing as Nigerian-born heavyweight Ike “The President” Ibeabuchi goes head-to-head with Nigerian fighter Idris Afinni.
The much-anticipated bout is scheduled for today, Saturday, August 23, at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere, Lagos. The event is being organized by Elliot in collaboration with leading promoter Miyen Akiri of Prizefighting.tv and has received official sanction from the Nigerian Boxing Board of Control (NBB of C). Fans can also watch the fight live on Prizefighting.tv.
Expressing his excitement, Elliot said, “I want to acknowledge the convener of this wonderful event Mr. Miyen Akiri for his positivity about the bout. I am so encouraged. Nigerians will experience the greatest boxing bout since the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight. This is going to happen right here in Surulere, Lagos. I am calling on people from Coker Aguda, Itire-Ikate and Lagos in general to come out en masse and have fun.”
He further emphasized the broader significance of the event, adding, “Let us be there and cheer on our own. Let us promote them so that the younger generation will be very inspired. We are taking representation to a different level. Representation is not only about almsgiving; it is also to promote sports in all ramifications. That’s what we want to see, charging people to be the best at what they do.”
