Evander Holyfield to spar Bola Tinubu in Lagos Charity Boxing Bout

Rhumble in Lagos between Bola Tinubu and Evander Holyfield

Evander Holyfield to spar Bola Tinubu in Lagos Charity Boxing Bout

Legendary five-time World Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Evander Holyfield, will feature in May, in the most anticipated exhibition boxing match that will pit him against former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, BAT.

According to a statement by Foluke Michael, the Project Manager of the fight, tagged “Rhumbles in Lagos,” the match will hold on May 25 at the Eko Atlantic City and will be beamed live to the world. Holyfield is 54, while Tinubu is 65.

The charity event is the first of its kind on the African continent, she said.

It will be refereed by Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka.

Mr. Tinubu in his endorsement of the BAT vs Holyfield bout, said: “I can’t wait to knock Evander down. I’m the real champion of the world!’’

The private sector-initiated event is designed as a contribution to the 50thanniversary celebration of the creation of Lagos State under the ongoing project, Lagos @50, chaired by Mr. Soyinka.

“Significantly, it is aimed at bringing world attention to some health-related issues in Africa, and will focus on cases such as Autism in Children, Breast Cancer, Mental Illness and HIV/AIDS and River Blindness.

Ms. Michael said it will also especially focus on the plight of Africans living with disabilities.

The event will donate five 40ft. containers of medical and relief materials worth over $2 million dollars to Lagos State Government and other neighbouring states, she said.

Part of the proceeds from the event would benefit not-for-profit organisations and agencies in Lagos which cater to, and were engaged in research programmes aimed at eradicating these medical conditions.

The “Real Deal’’ Evander Holyfield is billed to arrive in Lagos in May, and he would engage children and youth in the course of his visit.

The charity fight is promoted by ACI Entertainment and Bishop Entertainment Consult based in Atlanta, Georgia.
