A youthful budding boxer, Saheed Gbolagade who was adjudged the best overall boxer in the Lagos State Boxing Hall of Fame Boxing Competition for displaying unmatched skill in his fight has applauded Starcomms commitment to boxing development in the country.
The competition is organised monthly by the Lagos State Boxing Hall of Fame in conjunction with the Lagos State Amateur Boxing Association.
Speaking shortly after receiving the Starcomms Over All Best Boxer prize at the colourful event, which Starcomms has consistently sponsored over the years, energetic Gbolagade said he was excited to be the October winner of the competition.
While pouring encomium on Starcomms for its role in the development of boxing at the grassroots, he said that he was excited that Starcomms involvement in boxing sponsorship has helped to bring him into limelight noting that he is proud to be a winner that is associated with a winning brand.
Gbolagade from the M. Pioneer Boxing Club jumped in jubilation when his name was mentioned as the latest boxer to join the list of boxers that have been honoured by Starcomms for the display of outstanding boxing talent at the Starcomms monthly boxing competition.
The elated winner of the Starcomms prize said that he was happy that Starcomms has created an avenue where young boxing talents like him are being discovered in the boxing sport adding that the support of Starcomms for the boxing event should be commended and encouraged by government.
The competition recently had its first female winner of the Starcomms overall best boxer prize, kate Peters of Modupe Boxing Club at the August edition of the competition.
