Former Boxing Association Chairman, David Johnson walked
out of the boxing arena of the ongoing National Sports Festival Eko 2012,
hissing, lamenting and even cursing over the poor standard of boxing , a
sport that once counted for Nigeria in international outings.
Masquerade234 finding showed that Boxing has taken a plunge in the country and this is the reason why Nigerians boxers are no longer in contention for championship belts, but Johnson
expected to see some potentials and hoped that the challenge would be
the ability to transform them.
According to Johnson he saw absolutely nothing. Everything was wrong about boxing and he felt like crying,” shaking the head in disappointment and
using some harsh words to describe the events in boxing.
he lamented over the venue not been good enough. Using the gym as venue for a
festival of this magnitude showed that officials and organisers lacked
the depth to appreciate boxing. Then the boxers the states paraded were
awful. I went to see boxing bouts but I did not see boxers.
