Promising boxer Jamiu Adeniji delivered a commanding performance to emerge as the best boxer at the Lagos Boxing Hall of Fame (LBHF) Ibile Divisional Championships, held at the Ikorodu Town Hall over the weekend.

The tournament, staged in partnership with the Lagos Amateur Boxing Association, featured 10 thrilling bouts and continued Nigeria’s longest-running grassroots amateur boxing initiative.

Founded in July 2009 and sustained by the vision and support of former Minister of Finance Wale Edun, the LBHF project has become a cornerstone of boxing development in Lagos.

Representing Agboyi Ketu LCDA, Adeniji faced Wahab Adiat of Ikorodu West LCDA in the men’s 50kg category. The bout quickly became the star attraction of the day, with Adeniji dominating from the opening round.
