GOtv Boxing Night 32: ‘Armor Tanka’ Eyes Knockout Win Against Olowu
Explosive featherweight boxer Jafaru ‘Armor Tanka’ Suleiman has declared that his aim is to floor his opponent, Taiwo ‘Gentle Boy’ Olowu at GOtv Boxing Night 32.
The two knockout specialists will face each other in a super featherweight challenge bout at the event scheduled for Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, on December 26.
Tanka, who suffered the first defeat of his professional career earlier this year, said Gentle Boy is an opponent he ranks highly, promising to dispatch defeat him by knockout.
‘Olowu is not at my level and he’s not even on the list of opponents I consider tough. My name and record speak for me. I don’t talk much. I will knock him out like I always do opponents,’ he said.
Tanka has a record of 16 wins and 13 knockouts, while Gentle Boy boasts of 18 wins, 12 knockouts, and three losses from his 21 professional fights.
