Appah and Efe to Headline Independence Day Boxing Clash
The "Chaos in the Ring" boxing event will take place on October 1 in Lagos to celebrate Nigeria's Independence Day, featuring Godday Appah defending the WBO African Light Heavyweight Continental Championship against Ghana's Seth “Freezy Macbones” Gyimah. Oderhohwo Joseph Efe, known as Carter Efe, will participate in a celebrity boxing match against rapper Darlington Okoye, known as Speed Darlington.
A press conference preceding the event turned chaotic as fighters clashed, with Appah and Gyimah nearly engaging in a physical confrontation, and Efe launching himself across a table at Speed Darlington. This event will be Appah's first title defense since winning the WBO Africa cruiserweight crown in May.
Efe enters the bout following a unanimous decision victory over singer Habeeb “Portable” Badmus. The event will also feature several other professional fights and aims to promote African boxing on a global stage, with broadcasts by SuperSport and DAZN.
