Germany-based Nigerian boxer Alex Ekhorowa has vowed to punish his opponent Ali Muhammed of Lebanon in their March 24 encounter in Benin.
Ekhorowa, who currently holds the Universal Board Organisation lightweight belt, will take on with the Lebanese for the Global Boxing Federation lightweight belt.
The pugilist told the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Benin, “I will shut the boastful Lebanese’s mouth up in front of my fans here in Benin to win the GBF belt.
“The win will qualify me for a contention for the International Boxing Federation title in Germany later in the year.
“I will so punish Muhammed to please my fans, especially the revered Oba Ewuare(Oba of Benin) and my champion Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
“I decided to bring the fight to Benin City my home town as a honour to my fans and supporters, especially my Oba and the governor.”
