The event, slated for the Molade Okoya Indoor Sports Hall of
the Teslim Balogun Stadium, will feature seven bouts, including two international
ones.
The national light welterweight title defence bout between
incumbent champion, Taiwo “Joy Boy” Olowu and fast-rising Isaac “I-Star”
Chukwudi will headline GOtv Boxing Night 23.
Also scheduled to be in action are Rilwan “Baby Face”
Babatunde, World Boxing Federation (Intercontinental) welterweight champion,
who takes on Republic of Benin’s Naimou Aziz Samson in an international
challenge duel; and Rilwan “Real One” Oladosu, World Boxing Federation
(Intercontinental) lightweight champion, who squares up against Ghana’s Charles
Amateifo in a super featherweight challenge bout.
The event will similarly see the ring return of former
national lightweight champion, Nurudeen “Prince” Fatai, whose epic duels with
Oto “Joe Boy” Joseph are fondly remembered. Fatai will take on Rilwan “Show
Boy” Lawal in a featherweight duel.
