Raheem “Baddo” Animashaun became the youngest boxing champion in West Africa when he claimed the West African Boxing Union light-welterweight title on Sunday.
Baddo defeated Richman Ashelley of Ghana by TKO in the 7th round at De-Lad’s Boxing Promotions card at NIS, National stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
The 16-year-old made his second professional appearance on De-Lad’s Boxing Promotions bill. He currently has a record of ten victories.
“This title is just a stepping stone to my winning more titles in the future because I believe I have the qualities of Rocky Marciano, Azumah Nelson, Manny Pacquiao, Sugar Ray Leonard, Iron Mike Tyson, and Anthony Joshua to become the undisputed champions of the world,” he stressed.
