Fast rising light welterweight boxer, Rilwan “Baby Face” Babatunde, has dismissed the chances of his opponent, Waliu “Oganla” Arogundade, to last the distance when they clash at GOtv Boxing Night 11.
Speaking ahead of the event holding on March 26 at the Liberty Stadium, Ibadan, Baby Face said his opponent is not his match and will fall in no time.
“I have observed him. He has been in the sport longer than I have, but I am more talented and I hungry for success. He is unfortunate to meet me at this stage of my career,” said the young boxer.
Baby Face, a product of GOtv NextGen Search, rose to limelight at GOtv Boxing Night 7, where he defeated Tope “Berinja” Agboola.
