Another big international fight scheduled to hold is the light middleweight challenge duel between Nigeria’s Akeem “Dodo” Sadiku and the Republic of Benin’s Ekpresso Djamihou.

After the huge success of the 15th edition held in Ibadan in July 2018, the event organisers, FlyKite Promotions, believes it will be great to take it again to the Oyo state capital.
