The four female boxers billed to fight at GOtv Boxing Night 19 have commended the event sponsors for including them in the event, which holds on July 14 at the National Stadium, Lagos. The boxers Mariam Yusuf, Rodiat Yusuf, Cynthia Ogunsemilore and Adedeji Abiodun were selected to join the cast of male boxers billed to fight at the event. “I saw female boxers fight at two editions of GOtv Boxing Night and I thought there would be more. But it did not happen, which made many female boxers unhappy,” Ogunsemilore said. “We are now excited that female boxers have been brought back and our plan is to ensure that more female boxers are featured.
