Nigeria Boxing Federation President, Wale Edun
Lagos Boxing Hall of Fame founder and Nigeria Boxing Federation President, Wale Edun, has urged young boxers to remain disciplined and committed as the inaugural Lagos Boxing Hall of Fame IBILE Divisional Championships gather momentum ahead of the end-of-year Governor’s Belt competition.
Edun gave the charge at the Ikeja Divisional Championships, held at the Agege Stadium over the weekend, where Michael Bolarinwa emerged as the Best Boxer after an impressive display.
The tournament, organised by the LBHF in collaboration with the Lagos Amateur Boxing Association, marked the first of five divisional contests under the IBILE format, with champions from each division set to compete for the prestigious Governor’s Belt later this year.
Reflecting on the growth of the initiative, Edun said the divisional championships were a culmination of years of work aimed at reviving grassroots boxing in Lagos.
