Oladunjoye Explains Delay Of Segun Ajose's Bout.

The Senior Speacial Adviser to Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola on Grassroot Sports Development, Prince Wale Oladunjoye has shed light on how Nigerian Olusegun Ajose, a mandatory challenger to the holder of the WBC Super Lightweight champion, Mexican Eric Morales, was given a delay date to face the champion

Prince Oladunjoye, said “Ajose’s case had been decided on the floor of the Convention two days to the conclusion that he is the mandatory challenger to the holder of the WBC Super Lightweight champion, Morales.

According to him, if the Mexican wins against Danny Garcia or not in January, Segun must be fought by winner of the bout and if this fight does not go on, then Morales must fight Ajose at a date to be agreed on, hopefully before the middle of the year 2012.

He urged Nigerians to encourage and support Olusegun Ajose who is the number one on the old and current rate of WBC in the world to beat whoever comes to fight him in a bid to retain his number one rating and get the slot to be challenged for the title.

“There is no cause for alarm because from what we saw at the Convention, the WBC wants Ajose to take a shot at the world title as soon as possible and I don’t see any politics at play here.

I want all Nigerians to encourage and support our own mandatory challenger, Olusegun Ajose who is the No.1 on the old and current rate of WBC in the world to beat whoever comes to fight him to retain his No.1 rating and get the slot to be challenged for the title thereafter all over the world for the mega bucks that would heavily promote Ajose, his coach, Joe Mensah and ultimately our own dear nation, Nigeria.

“I believe the effort of all Nigerians who are behind him in this crusade would become worthwhile and glaring when Ajose becomes the new undisputed world champion by His grace,” said Prince Oladunjoye.

The delegation led by Dr Godwin Kanu, President Nigeria Boxing Board of Control, NBBC and vice-president African Boxing Union (ABU), had Dr. Rafiu Ladipo, the President General, Nigeria Football and other Sports Supporters Club, Mr. Victor John, Mr. Folorunsho Jacob, President of Pro Referees, Alhaji Lasisi Bisiriyu and Mr. Lati Muis, a WBC referee, as others who attended the Convention from Nigeria.
