The Nigeria Boxing Federation (NBF) has been granted the hosting rights for the Inaugural African Boxing Congress and Boxing Gala Night, scheduled to take place on December 28, 2025, in Lagos. The event is under the leadership of Hon. Wale Edun, and the NBF will work closely with African Boxing, the governing body for Olympic-style boxing in Africa.
In a letter to the NBF, African Boxing praised Nigeria as a strategic nation with the capacity to advance the sport holistically across the continent. The federation’s Vice President, Hon. Omonlei Imadu, has been appointed as a member of the African Boxing Working Committee and Head of Organization for the forthcoming Congress.
This marks a significant milestone for Nigerian boxing, highlighting the country’s growing influence in the sport. The event promises to be a landmark occasion, bringing together key stakeholders and promoting the development of boxing in Africa.
