The much-anticipated fight night, tagged “Chaos in the Ring,” will light up the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos and will be broadcast live worldwide on DAZN, placing Nigeria firmly on the global boxing map.

Organiser and Group CEO, Dr. Ezekiel Adamu, assured fans that preparations are in full swing to deliver a world-class spectacle, promising an unforgettable night of boxing, entertainment, and national pride.
