The Chief Executive Officer of De’Lad Boxing Promotions, Alh. Alabi Wasiu, has expressed appreciation to Hon. Kunle Soname for his continued support and contribution to the development of boxing in Nigeria.
The boxing promoter commended Soname for his commitment to the growth of the sport, noting that his support has helped create opportunities for boxers, promote boxing events, and encourage greater participation in the sport.
According to the De’Lad Boxing Promotions boss, sustained investment and support from individuals and organisations are essential to nurturing young talents and strengthening Nigeria’s position on the international boxing scene.
Corporate sponsorship has become increasingly important to the development of sports in Nigeria. For boxing, in particular, financial and promotional support can help organisers stage competitive events, provide opportunities for fighters, and attract audiences to a sport with a rich national tradition.
Bet9ja’s support for boxing aligns with this need. Its association with boxing events helps provide greater visibility for the sport while contributing to an environment in which athletes can compete, gain experience, and build their profiles.
De’Lad Boxing Promotions reaffirmed its commitment to promoting boxing and providing a platform for emerging talents to develop their skills and pursue professional careers.
The longevity of De’Lad Boxing Promotions’ Battle of the Ages is itself a testament to the appetite for quality boxing in Nigeria.
Entering its 14th edition in Lagos, the event has evolved into more than just another boxing card. It provides a platform where fighters can test themselves competitively while fans get an opportunity to witness the skill, courage, and discipline associated with the sport.
For younger boxers, events such as Battle of the Ages can be particularly valuable. Competitive bouts provide experience that cannot be replicated in training, while performing before an audience gives fighters an opportunity to develop the confidence and professionalism required for a successful career.
The boxing promotional outfit, however, called on other sports enthusiasts, corporate organisations and stakeholders to emulate such support and contribute to the continued growth of boxing in Nigeria.
