Arrangements are being concluded for the hosting of maiden edition of South West Quarterly Developmental Boxing Tournament in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on 20th June 2026.
The tournament has been described as
a new dawn for boxing in Ogun State and across the Yorubaland
Sponsor of the event, Hon. Omonlei Yakubu Imadu, who also serves as the South West Boxing Zonal Representative and Vice President of the Nigeria Boxing Federation, the tournament reflects his desire to develop grassroots boxing and his commitment to the progress of the sport.
The financier in a statement, noted that South West youths are naturally endowed with talent for boxing, and said investment in them cannot be a waste.
The initiative, he added, is part of his campaign promises to create more opportunities for young boxers in the zone and raise the standard of boxing at the regional level.
The Tournament Director, Mr. Osuolale Leye David, hinted that the event would be rotational, moving to other South West states with the facilities to host every 3 months.
He called on states across the zone to rally round their teams and give the necessary support, saying he enjoys the love of the game and believes collective effort will take South West boxing to greater heights.
