National and West African Boxing Union lightweight champion, Rilwan “Real One” has been told to expect the shocker of his life when he steps into the ring at GOtv Boxing Night 17, holding on 28 December at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.

The threat was issued by Mubarak Hamzat, his opponent in the national lightweight challenge bout, one of the eight fights scheduled for the event.

According to Hamzat, the fact that Real One is the national and sub-regional champion will have no bearing on the fight, which he said he is determined to win.

“He may be the national and West African champion, but his status will have no bearing on what happens in the ring on that day. He is said to be undefeated, but will taste defeat on that day. There are no two ways about it. I am ready to deal with him in a way he has never been dealt with. He will be shocked,” boasted Hamzat.
