The mother of a Nigerian boxer who tragically died during a fight in Ghana has begged for help.
The mother begged Nigerian President Bola Tinubu for assistance and justice.
She revealed that her son had received a threatening message before the fight, urging him to step down for his opponent. However, he refused to back down.
Her statement read: “Our daddy Tinubu, help me. I have one son, and I don’t have anyone else. His father passed away on June 12, 1993, and I’ve been raising him alone ever since.”
“He received a message, threatening him to step down for his opponent, but he refused. We read the message during the day, but the match had already taken place overnight. He won the first two rounds, but couldn’t lift his arm in the third. Please don’t let them cover this up, help me.”
This comes days after it was reported that the Nigerian boxer tragically passed away in the middle of his match in Ghana.
