GOtv Boxing Night: Oloyede unfazed by Oladipupo’s threat
Imole “System” Oloyede has brushed off Saddam “Baby Boxer” Oladipupo’s boast that their fight will end inside two rounds, ahead of their national lightweight bout at GOtv Boxing Night 34.
While Saddam has predicted an early stoppage, Oloyede says the confidence is misplaced. The boxer nicknamed “System” believes the bout will be decided over time, as pressure builds and mistakes creep in.
“Everyone can talk about two rounds,” he said.
“But this is a national fight. I have prepared for every minute. When the pace settles and the noise fades, that is when the real work begins.”
Oloyede added that he is unfazed by predictions and name-calling, framing the bout as a test of composure.
“I don’t rush fights,” he said.
“I read them. If Saddam wants to come fast, that is his choice. I will be there from the first bell to the last, and he will understand why they call me System.”
Their duel is anticipated to be one of the most captivating matchups of the evening at the highly anticipated GOtv Boxing Night 34: Jams Festival, which combines top-tier boxing with live music and stage entertainment.
Additionally, the event features the national super bantamweight title fight between Sodiq “Happy Boy” Adeleke and the reigning champion Durotimi “Tiny” Agboola; an international lightweight bout between Nigeria’s Rasheed “ID Buster” Idowu and Ghana’s Nii Offei Dodoo; a national lightweight contest that sees Segun “Odi” Gbobaniyi face off against Tobiloba “Smiling Assassin” Ijomoni; a light welterweight challenge involving Sodiq “Smart Lion” Suleimon and Emmanuel “Ability” Abimbola; and a bantamweight clash between Ezekiel “Touch” Seun and Toheeb “Full Tank” Hassan.
