Edun Calls Emergency NBF Board Meeting to Resolve Crisis

Wale Edun, the President of the Nigerian Boxing Federation (NBF), has called for an emergency meeting of the NBF board in Abuja to resolve a prolonged crisis affecting Nigerian boxing. This situation has persisted for three months, primarily due to disputes between the NBF and the Nigerian Boxing Board of Control (NBBOC).

The meeting aims to consolidate the board's position and engage stakeholders to restore harmony in the sport. Sources indicate that the Minister of Finance has expressed concern over the ongoing impasse, highlighting its negative impact on the image of boxing in Nigeria.

The emergency meeting is expected to bring together board members and stakeholders to find a resolution and allow the sport to regain its vitality across the country. The current state of affairs has cast a shadow over the administration of the sport, prompting the urgent need for a decisive resolution.
