GOtv Boxing: Joe Boy ready for Ghanaian opponent

- From Yahaya Ibrahim, Lagos

The National Lightweigh­t boxing champion, Oto “Joe Boy” Joseph, has declared himself ready to make Nigeria proud when he fights Ghana’s Anma Dotse for the West African Boxing Union title at GOtv Boxing Night 11, holding at the Liberty Stadium, Ibadan on 26 March.

Joe Boy, who is a three-time winner of the GOtv Boxing Night best boxer award, said he is certain that he is top dog in his category in West Africa.

He advised his opponent to consult his fellow Ghanaian, Richard “Desert Warrior” Amefu, whom he defeated at GOtv Boxing 9.

“Dotse is in trouble, I am the best in West Africa, and he will regret ever coming to fight me. I have trained hard and I will explode like dynamite,” Joe boy said.

Another fight lined for the night which will be taking place for the first time outside Lagos, is an internatio­nal challenge bout between Olaide “Fijaborn” Fijabi, national and West African light welterweig­ht champion, and Togolese Sunday Yao. In the other fights, fast rising boxer, Rilwan “Baby Face” Babatunde will exchange punches with Waliu “Oganla” Arogundade in the light welterweig­ht category, while Adewale “Masevex” Masebinu will be in action against Kabiru “KB Godson” Towolawi in a lightweigh­t challenge duel. The best boxer on the night will win N1 million cash prize and the Mojisola Ogunsanya Memorial trophy.
