GOtv Boxing Night 34: ‘I am happy when I make people sad in the ring, and Happy Boy will be my next victim,’ Vows ‘Tiny’ Agboola
National super bantamweight champion Durotimi ‘Tiny’ Agboola has turned up the heat ahead of his clash with Sadiq ‘Happy Boy’ Adeleke at GOtv Boxing Night 34, promising to send his opponent home ‘sad and depressed.’
The highly anticipated event takes place on 26 December at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, and will feature two title bouts, an international contest, and three additional fights, alongside live music and comedy.
Speaking from his Ibadan base, Tiny dismissed Adeleke’s credentials, insisting the challenger is not yet ready for the pressures of national-level competition.
‘He needs to upskill. He is still new in this game. He calls himself Happy Boy, but he will go home sad and depressed. I am happy when I make people sad in the ring, and Happy Boy will be my next victim,’ Agboola declared.
The other title fight on the card pits Sadam ‘Baby Boxer’ Oladipupo against Imole ‘System’ Oloyede for the national lightweight crown.
The undercard promises fireworks too. Emmanuel ‘Ability’ Abimbola, a former Mojisola Ogunsanya Memorial Trophy winner, faces undefeated Sodiq ‘Smart Lion’ Suleiman in an eight-round light welterweight bout.
Abimbola was typically blunt in his assessment of his opponent: ‘Smart Lion, my foot. This is a pussy cat calling himself a lion. He will learn the difference when the bell rings.’
Suleiman, however, insists being underrated only fuels his determination.
Other contests include Segun ‘Odi’ Gbobaniyi versus Tobiloba ‘Smiling Assassin’ Ijomoni in a national lightweight clash, Ezekiel ‘Touch’ Seun against Toheeb ‘Full Tank’ Hassan in a super bantamweight bout, and an international showdown between Nigeria’s Rasheed ‘ID Buster’ Idowu and Ghana’s Nii Offei Dodoo.
GOtv Boxing Night 34 will be broadcast live on SS Africa 1 (GOtv Ch. 63, DStv Ch. 207).
The event is sponsored by GOtv, with support from MultiChoice, Zetaweb, the Lagos State Sports Commission, and TheCable.
