East meets West as the pride of Nigeria, Larry ‘The Natural’ Ekundayo, defends his African Boxing Union (ABU) title belt against Tanzanian Saidi Mundi on Saturday, June 4 in London.
Ekundayo, who is the undefeated African Boxing Union champion International Masters welterweight title holder and the 2012 Prizefighter champion, will once again carry the hopes of Nigeria on his shoulders in a title defence that is set to be an explosive African showdown.
Mundi brings an impressive ring record of 14 wins and only two losses, meaning both athletes will be looking to get the best of one another on the night.
The night of sporting excellence will be attended by Nigerian celebrities from the worlds of music and film who are great supporters of Ekundayo.
As well as promising to be an exciting and thrilling display of African pugilistic talent, the event will also be a night of historic magnitude, as it will the first time an African title defence has headlined the home of British boxing, the York Hall, London.
A victory for Ekundayo will propel him up the world rankings ahead of a potential title defence in his homeland of Nigeria on Independence Day, October 1, 2016.
