National welterweight title holder, Taiwo “Gentle Boy” Olowu, will now face off with Alidu Sulemana of Ghana, for the West African Boxing Union (WABU) super welterweight title at GOtv Boxing Night 30.

This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by Flykite Productions, the organisers of the premier boxing event. Olowu was billed to fight Ghanaian boxer, Michael Ansah, who pulled out of the fight for personal reasons.

“Olowu will face another Ghanaian, Alidu Sulemana, for the West African Boxing Union (WABU) super welterweight title at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, on December 26. Ansa pulled out for personal reasons, and his compatriot has taken up the challenge,” the statement said.

Sulemana has a record of 10 wins and eight knockouts from his 10 professional fights, while Olowu has a record of 15 wins and one defeat from his 16 professional fights.
