“We noticed some lapses during the second edition in March this year and I want to assure that these won’t repeat themselves in this July tournament. We are planning to give our fans the best night of good boxing and entertainment, as the GOtv Boxing Night is a gradual restoration of professional boxing in Nigeria,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Vice President of the NBB of C, Dr. Chike Eluekwe, has said that the coming of GOtv into sponsorship of a boxing championship was a relief to the sport that has witnessed dearth of tournaments over the years.
