GOtv Boxing NextGen Search graduate, Semiu “Jagaban” Olapade, has boasted that his opponent for the national middleweight challenge bout at GOtv Boxing Night 14, Chukwuebuka “Wize Man” Ezewudo, will not go beyond the first round on 14 April at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Lagos. Ezewudo, also a graduate of GOtv Boxing NextGen Search, and his opponent, made their professional debut at different editions of GOtv Boxing Night. Speaking on Friday, Jagaban described his opponent as a boxer with still a lot to learn about the sport.
“He calls himself Wize Man, but I will make him look foolish because he knows little about boxing. He will not go beyond the first round. Mark my words,” bragged Jagaban.

In the cruiserweight division, Razak “Hyena” Ramon, will face Abiodun “Finito” Afinni in a national challenge bout.
