Taiwo Agbaje, popularly known as “Esepo,” and Tosin Osaigbovo, aka “Sojar Boy,” have both appealed to their supporters to maintain calm before and after their highly anticipated bout for the vacant WBA Africa Lightweight title.
Speaking ahead of the fight, Agbaje urged discipline among his fans:
“Please, let’s maintain peace, no violence. Do not fight after the bout, and let’s accept every decision of the officials. I’m coming for the win as I promised.”
Echoing the same tone, Osaigbovo sent a message to the Agege faithful:
“Let’s maintain peace after the fight, no violence. Let’s accept the judges’ decision and keep it respectful. I promise I’m bringing the belt to Agege.”
The fight, sanctioned by the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control, has been tagged a “Clash of the Unbeaten,” with both fighters bringing contrasting styles into the ring—
Esepo’s explosive power against Sojar Boy’s calculated, technical approach.
With strong backing expected from fans across Mushin and Agege, security and discipline will be key as emotions run high.
Beyond the rivalry, tonight’s bout represents more than just local bragging rights, it’s a stepping stone toward continental recognition and bigger opportunities on the global stage.
All roads lead to Surulere , as all eyes are now on Lagos. The fighters are ready. The fans are ready. The only question left is who takes the belt?
