The upcoming GOtv Boxing Night 32, scheduled for December 26th at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos, promises a night of electrifying action and entertainment. Dubbed “Boxing Jams Music,” the event seamlessly blends the thrill of boxing with the vibrancy of musical performances by Mayorkun, YKB, and comedic interludes by MC Lively. The highlight of the evening will be the national super welterweight title fight, a rematch between Lateef “Enuoshe” Azeez and the undefeated Rasheed “Fally Boy” Adeyemo.
