The 14th edition of GOtv Boxing Night will hold at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Lagos, on 14 April, the organisers have announced.

The announcement was made at a press conference in Lagos.

The event returns to the National Stadium after it was staged at the Landmark Centre in December.

GOtv Boxing Night 14 will feature seven bouts, including the African Boxing Union featherweight title bout between Nigeria’s Waidi “Skoro” Usman and Michael “Shaka” Nyawade of Kenya. Skoro lost a bid to win the title to Edward Kakembo of Uganda in 2015.

The event will also feature the West African Boxing Union welterweight title bout between Rilwan ‘Babyface’ Babatunde and Djossou “Agoy” Basile of the Republic of Benin.
