The atmosphere is heating up as the much-anticipated GOtv Boxing Night 34 approaches its December showdown. Fighters are trading verbal jabs, with the latest war of words coming from national super bantamweight champion, Durotimi "Tiny" Agboola, who has issued a stern warning to his challenger, Sadiq "Happy Boy" Adeleke.
Tiny's Bold Prediction for Title Clash
Speaking confidently from his training base in Ibadan, Tiny did not mince words when assessing his opponent's readiness for the high-stakes bout. He dismissed Happy Boy as a boxer who is not yet equipped to handle the pressure of a national championship fight. The event is scheduled for December 26 at the iconic Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos, and Tiny plans to make it a memorable night for all the wrong reasons for his foe.
"He needs to upskill. He is still new to this game," stated the champion. "He calls himself Happy Boy, but he will go home sad and depressed. I am happy when I make people sad in the ring, and Happy Boy will be my next victim." This clash for the national super bantamweight crown is one of the headline acts of the evening.
Stacked Fight Card and Other Fiery Matchups
GOtv Boxing Night 34 is not just about one title fight. The event promises a full night of entertainment, featuring live music and comedy alongside a packed boxing schedule. The card includes two title bouts, one international contest, and three additional fights.
In the other championship duel, Saddam "Baby Boxer" Oladipupo will battle Imole "System" Oloyede for the national lightweight title. The undercard is equally compelling, featuring a heated eight-round light welterweight contest between Emmanuel "Ability" Abimbola and the undefeated Sodiq "Smart Lion" Suleiman.
Abimbola, a former winner of the Mojisola Ogunsanya Memorial Trophy, was characteristically blunt in his assessment of Smart Lion. "Smart Lion, my foot. This is a pussy cat calling itself a lion. He will learn the difference when the bell rings," he declared. In response, Suleiman indicated that being underestimated only serves to motivate him further.
