Nigeria’s Five Finalists Boost Gold Medal Hopes at African Boxing Championships

Posted : 22 October 2026

Nigeria’s quest for continental boxing honours received another boost as Ridwan Raheem advanced to the men’s 65kg final at the African Elite Men’s and Women’s Boxing Championships in Nairobi, Kenya.

Raheem secured his place in the title bout after defeating Rwanda’s Niyonzima Pacifique on points in their semi-final encounter, becoming the fifth Nigerian boxer to reach the finals.

His victory strengthened Nigeria’s medal prospects at the championship, where the country is seeking honours across several weight categories in the men’s and women’s divisions.

The Nigerian contingent’s progress to five finals represents an opportunity to convert its strong showing into gold medals as the competition approaches its decisive stage.

Raheem will now focus on his final bout, with the Nigerian team hoping to cap its campaign with victories in the championship’s remaining contests.

The African Elite Men’s and Women’s Boxing Championships brings together leading boxers from across the continent to compete for continental titles. With five Nigerian boxers reaching the finals, the team will look to turn its progress into gold medals and strengthen the country’s standing in African boxing.
