New national
light heavyweight boxer, Adewale “Masevex” Masebinu, has declared his desire to
claim the West African Boxing Union (WABU) title in the division.
The Ekiti-born
boxer became the national champion on Sunday at GOtv Boxing Night 16, following
his victory, by knockout, over Kabiru “KB Godson” Towolawi at the Sir Molade
Okoya-Thomas Hall of the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
Masebinu,
who avenged his previous defeat to the same opponent, said he is proud of his
achievement so far, but he already has his eyes on the sub-regional title.
“The next
step is the WABU title. I’m sure of winning. I was sure I’d defeat Towolawi and
through determination, I did.
The same applies to the WABU title. I will
continue to train hard and remain focused, ready and able to take on anybody
once the opportunity presents itself,” he said.
Masebinu
dominated the fight against Towolawi, restricting his opponent to harmless jabs
while stinging him at every opportunity.
From the third round, Towolawi started
looking dazed, but stayed on till the end of the fifth round. But when the bell
for the sixth round was rung, the boxer indicated his unwillingness to continue
taking punishment.
