Light welterweight boxer, Adeyemi ‘Spirit’ Adekanla, insists he will snatch the West African Boxing Union title from current champion, Segun ‘War’ Adeyemi when they clash at GOtv Boxing Night 31 May 1.
The 10-round title fight is one of the seven bouts scheduled for the boxing event at the Molade Okoya-Thomas Indoor Sports Hall of Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.
Speaking about his preparation for the fight, ‘Spirit’ said he aimed to keep his unbeaten record by claiming the WABU title.
“I am preparing really hard for this fight. It is my turn to have the WABU title, so no more ‘War’. I’ve never lost a fight in my career, and I will keep that record on May 1,” he said.
Both boxers are undefeated in their professional careers. ‘Spirit’ has a record of 12 wins with four knockouts, while ‘War’ has a record of 10 wins, one draw and seven knockouts from 11 fights.
