Nigeria Boxing Federation Demands Compensation Over Liverpool Ban
The Nigeria Boxing Federation seeks compensation after Nigerian boxers were banned from a tournament in Liverpool due to delayed test results. Three boxers, including Zainab Adeshina and Mistura Idowu, were excluded despite meeting requirements.
The NBF sent a formal letter to the World Boxing President seeking redress. Internal criticism arises over the costly trip's mismanagement, with calls for an investigation into fund usage.
