Eribo, a professional lightweight boxer who knocked out Isiaka ‘Easy Lion’ Yusuf in the fourth of their eight-round national challenge contest at the GOtv Boxing Night in October, said he is sure of winning the national title when he fights for it.
“I am the best boxer in my category as well as the best boxer in the country. I am ready to claim the national title and see nobody in my category who can stop me,” he raved.
Edo Boy, 26, weighs 64kg and has a reach of 27cm, has fought 12 times, winning all with six via knockout. As an amateur, he had 10 fights, winning seven and losing three.
“My record as a pro is intimidating. The record intimidates my opponents. I will defeat my next opponent for the people of Edo State and Governor Adams Oshiomhole,” said the boxer who is billed to fight at the GOtv Boxing Night on 26 December at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Lagos.
