LBHF Governor’s Belt: Boxers Gear Up for Final Slots

Posted : 29 November 2025

The race for places in the 2025 Lagos Boxing Hall of Fame (LBHF) Governor’s Belt intensifies this weekend as fighters clash in the November monthly championships.

Agege Stadium will host the bouts on Saturday, where boxers will vie for coveted spots in the year-end showcase. With competition rising, every punch will matter as athletes aim to prove they deserve a place in Nigeria’s respected grassroots boxing event.

Three women’s bouts and seven men’s contests headline the LBHF monthly card. In the women’s 48kg class, Mistura Otenaike of Surulere faces Aina Adekiwonsa of Lagos Island. Eniola Idowu meets Oyindamola Agboola in the 45kg division, while an exhibition bout features Zainab Ibrahim against Peculiar Ifemaye at 27kg.

The men’s contests promise excitement, beginning with Kareem Yusuf of Amuwo against Olamide Bello of Yaba in the 53kg class. In the 60kg division, Kola Ogunsemore of Lagos Mainland battles Qudus Akinwande, while Ganiu Ayomide faces Daniel Nkem. Other bouts include Seun Habu vs. Fasosi Paisol at 70kg, Christian Obi vs. Paul Melvin at 85kg, and Victor Okagbue vs. Daniel Nwose at 90kg. An exhibition match sees Modeed Omotayo take on Michael Adedapo in the 30kg boys’ category.

The event serves as a crucial qualifier for boxers aiming for the Governor’s Belt finals later this year. LBHF Director David Mohamed said interest has surged since the programme resumed in October.

“There has been strong interest from boxers across Lagos. We cannot accommodate everyone, so we will select only the best,” he said, adding that this weekend’s bouts will produce another group of finalists for the year-end championship.

The LBHF monthly series returned in October 2025 after a brief hiatus. Founded in 2010 by Finance Minister Wale Edun, LBHF is a non-profit organisation committed to developing amateur and grassroots boxing in Nigeria. Recently, LBHF partnered with Mainstay Bulletproof Ltd. to strengthen support for young athletes, and plans are underway for a new 2026 format featuring divisional, regional, and national finals across all weight classes.
