POSTPONED!
A big World Boxing Federation (WBF)
world championship event is set for
the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port
Harcourt in Nigeria on Friday
December 13.
Unbeaten Taiwo Agbaje, 16-0 (11),
will face Filipino Brian James Wild,
12-1-1 (6), for the vacant WBF world
Featherweight title on a card
promoted by Zeus Sports &
Entertainment Promotions.
Agbaje turned pro in 2018, and has
been impressive in pushing aside
every challenge presented to him,
and won the West African Boxing
Union title in May of 2022.
Later that year he made a statement
by stopping another Filipino warrior
in Richard Pumicpic to capture the
vacant WBF Intercontinental title.
In fellow southpaw Wild, he will be
in with a young and hungry
co-challenger who is full of
confidence that he can spoil the
party.
Wild has only lost to undefeated
contender Subaru Murata in Japan, so
going abroad for a huge task is
nothing new to the 23-year-old.
Agbaje is probably the favourite
going in, but this is very much a
fight which could go either way. Two
excellent boxers in the prime of
their careers looking to fulfil
their dreams.
