GOtv Boxing Night 20: Nigeria’s Real One Taunts Ghanaian Anan, Says He Will Fall Easily

Rilwan “Real One” Oladosu

 

Reigning West African Boxing Union (WABU) lightweight champion, Rilwan “Real One” Oladosu, has declared that his title defence against Ghana’s Ezekiel Anan will require minimal effort. The encounter is one of the four title bouts at the nine-fight GOtv Boxing Night 20, which holds at Lagos’ Tafawa Balewa Square on 28 December.

Speaking after a sparring session yesterday Real One claimed that Anan stands no chance of causing an upset.

“This is my first title defence and I’m sure, very sure, it will be easy. Anan is deceiving himself if he is nursing the ambition of returning with the title. He should just come and enjoy the hospitality Nigerians are known to provide. But that hospitality will not extend to the ring, where I’m the master,” said the champion.

He claimed to have defeated the best Ghanaian boxers, a level to which he believes is way above Anan’s.
