US-based Nigerian Heavyweight
Onoriode “Godzilla” Ehwarieme
returns to his home-country to
fight for the vacant World
Boxing Federation (WBF)
Intercontinental title on
Saturday December 28 at the
Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos.
Ehwarieme (32), a 2008 Olympian
who signed with legendary
promoter Don King last year,
has, besides the USA and
Nigeria, boxed in Indonesia,
Ghana and Argentina since
turning pro in 2010, and brings
a 17-1 (16) record to what will
be his first championship fight.
His opponent on the night will
be Argentinean Champion Ariel
Esteban Bracamonte, 9-4 (5), a
26-year-old dark-horse who made
a name for himself when he gave
British contender David Allen
all he could handle on short
notice last year.
Since the fight in England,
“Chiquito” Bracamonte has won
the Argentinean national crown
but come up short after good
efforts in WBO and IBO
title-fights. He is now looking
to finally cross the finish line
and capture a non-domestic
title.
The Ehwarieme vs. Bracamonte WBF
Intercontinental Heavyweight
title fight will headline a
nine-bout show billed as GOtv
Boxing Night, promoted by
Flykite Promotions.
