Balmoral chief executive, Ezekiel Adamu has described Taiwo ‘Esepo’ Agbaje as the embodiment of everything the promotion is trying to build after the undefeated Nigerian lightweight champion signed a promotional deal with Balmoral Promotions-the Lagos-based outfit behind the Chaos in The Ring franchise, in what the 19-0 fighter described as the most significant moment of his professional career.
Agbaje, who holds the WBA Africa lightweight title after his unanimous decision victory over Tosin “Sojar Boy” Osaigbovo in April, put pen to paper on Wednesday, June 10, with Balmoral, one of Nigeria’s most ambitious boxing promotions.
The Mushin-born fighter, whose nickname was earned on the streets of Lagos long before professional boxing came calling, said the deal represented the platform he had been searching for throughout his career.
“I feel so good, I can’t lie. I feel good because this is the type of deal I have been looking for in my life and I believe that Balmoral Promotions is the best promotion in Nigeria. This is the line that I know if I climb, I will become a world champion because this is the space where there are many opportunities for me,” Agbaje said.
“I have been all over the world but Balmoral is set to make me a king in Nigeria so I can dictate my terms now and get what I am worth out there. This is a great deal for me.”
