Super featherweight boxer, Sikiru “Omo Iya Eleja” Shogbesan, is determined to claim the prestigious Mojisola Ogunsanya Memorial Trophy and the N1 million cash prize for the best boxer at GOtv Boxing Night 32.

Scheduled for December 26 at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos, Omo Iya Eleja will face Imole “System” Oloyede in a national super featherweight challenge bout.

The event will feature six thrilling bouts, with live performances by Afrobeats stars Mayorkun and YKB, alongside the comedic brilliance of MC Lively.

Speaking from his training camp in Lagos, Omo Iya Eleja reflected on his career and his drive to achieve a long-standing goal.

“I am a testament to the impact of GOtv Boxing Night. I turned professional on this platform, but I have yet to win the best boxer prize. This year, my aim is to break the jinx. This fight is more than just a challenge for me. It’s my chance to win in style and claim the star prize,” he said.

Omo Iya Eleja boasts a record of 17 wins, three losses, and one draw from 21 professional bouts.

Also on the card is a national super welterweight title fight between Lateef “Enuoshe” Azeez and Rasheed “Fally Boy” Adeyemo, while Raheem “Badoo” Animashaun will face Hammed “Ese” Ganiyu in the light welterweight division.

Additional matchups include Akintunde Abolade against Emmanuel Abimbola in the national super flyweight category, Taiwo “Gentle Boy” Olowu facing Jafaru “Tanka” Suleiman in a national super welterweight challenge, and Kehinde Owoeye versus Emmanuel Bamidele in the amateur flyweight category.
