Reporter : NTIENYONG UDOH
Nigerian boxer, Efe Ajagba, continued his rise in the heavyweight division with a third round knockout of American, Brian Howard, at the Osage Casino, in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Sunday.
The win takes Ajagba’s record to 15, 12 knockouts, one disqualification and three fights which went the distance.
Born in Ughelli, Delta State, Ajagba rose in the sport to the Olympics from the streets and was Nigeria’s only boxing representative at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
Although he did not win a medal, the boxer was scouted immediately after the Games and taken to Houston, Texas, in the United States of America, where he has been based.
He worked with Ronnie Shields, who had trained with Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
