Super welterweight boxer, Taiwo “Gentle Boy” Olowu, has said his target is to claim the West African Boxing Union (WABU) super welterweight title at GOtv Boxing Night 30.
The enterprising boxer, who is the national welterweight title holder, will square up against top Ghanaian boxer, Michael Ansah, at the event slated for the Tafawa Balewa Square, Victoria Island, Lagos, on December 26.
Speaking ahead of the fight, ‘Gentle Boy’ boasted that he would ensure the Ghanaian return to his country empty-handed. “I aim to add this West African Boxing Union title to my national title. As a national champion, I can not allow a foreigner to come and take this belt away in front of my fans. This is a big opportunity for me to be a WABU champion. Ansah will leave Nigeria empty-handed,” he said.
