Perplexed by the turn of events, Nigeria Boxing Federation Secretary General, Dapo Akinyele, protested the change, but the match commissioner explained that the result was reversed after a review of the bout. Speaking to the media on the issue, Akinyele asked: “Why would a match commissioner change the result of a fight, which judges rightly called when there was no reason for the change?This is one of the things wrong with sports in Africa as some countries want to win by all means. This is an injustice that must not be allowed to succeed.

“The match commissioner said we should request AFBC to intervene. This has to be the most embarrassing and shocking decision ever made in a boxing tournament. This is nothing but injustice to a boxer, who trained hard to compete and win.”Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
