Nigeria's Female Boxer In Ferocious Form

Ogoke Edith Agu is the sole female boxer in Team Nigeria for the London 2012 Olympics and she is raring to show why she is wearing Nigeria’s flag among two other male boxers.

The lass, fighting in the 75kg, is so good that she has sent out warning signals to her opponents after sparring with British and American girls in training. She was in no mood for trivialities. Her foot-works were amazing and her left and right combination overwhelmed  the American and British female pugilists. 

Their coaches had to throw in the towel to save them from further punishment and avert a major disaster even before the bell rings for the boxers to climb the square ropes.

Dr Patrick Uwagbale, the Admin Personnel of the Boxing Team informed yesterday that the girl was too good.

“She has improved tremendously and has been in devastating form.  She is good for a medal’’, Uwagbale said. 

“She is dedicated to her training and adheres to it religiously. She is good. Her punches are too much for a female and her footworks are equally amazing. She dances away from problem and rattles her opponents with lightening punches. We are indeed hopeful’’, Uwagbale said noted.

The two other male boxers representing  Nigeria are Akanji Muideen Olalekan fighting in the 75 kg and Lawal Lukmon Olaiwola fighting in the 81 kg.
