Nigerian boxer Rilwan Oladosu is set to face Ghana’s Emmanuel Quartey for the World Boxing Federation (WBF) International title at the 21st edition of GOtv Boxing Night slated to hold on Sunday, April 12, at the Indoor Sports of the National Stadium in Lagos state.
The bout is one of the six fights scheduled to hold according to the organizers of the event Flykite Productions.
Oladosu who is the West African Boxing Union (WABU) lightweight champion is unbeaten but will face a stern test from Emmanuel Quartey.
The event will also see Rilwan Babatunde, the WABU welterweight champion, face Tanzania’s Mkwalekwa Salehe for the WBF Africa title.
Hard punching Taiwo Agbaje, national featherweight champion, will go against Moses Dodzi of Ghana in an international challenge duel.
Agbaje had threatened to dump Nigeria and represent another country after Nigerian boxers failed to attend the qualifiers for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, despite camping in Lagos for the event.
