Fatai Jimoh, another Oyo State fighter, went ahead for second victory when he out boxed Ismail Jimoh of Kwara in a split decision.

The female bouts of the day were anchored by Kwara in grand style as Fausiyat Tijani claimed split victory over Seun Omowaye of Ekiti while Risika Abdulrazaq beat Olamide Oluwamuyide of Oyo State.

In his remark at the closing ceremony, Mr Ahmed Rufai, the chairman of Kwara Boxing Association, appreciated the state government for providing the enabling environment for sports in the state.

He explained that the aim of the competition was to bring boxing closer to the youth as "the association is bringing Gotv to Kwara at the end of August to further aid boxing development in state". (NAN)
