“I urged the government, companies and the well-to-do people in the society to support boxing and invest in it.
“I remain unbeatable. I shall continue to train hard until I achieve my aim.
“My focus is to win the WBA, WBO and IBF and bring honour to Ekiti and Nigeria,” said Masebinu, who also got into kicking boxing and won a silver at the 2018 National Sport Festival.
“I am the first Ekiti born to win medal in professional boxing, I dedicated this new feat to my governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi,” said Masevex.
He urged all to give financial support to upcoming professionals and amateur boxers in the state in their quest to create names for themselves and bring honour to the state and Nigeria at large. (NAN)
