After touching down in Lagos two days ago Geoffrey John Skullcobra who will face Daniel Iwuoha in a rearranged lightweight bout promised not to underrate his opponent but believes he’s got what it takes to outlast Iwuoha.

Also in town is the 2015 African Games gold medalist in Greco Roman wrestling for Nigeria Emmanuel ‘Working Machine’ Nworie who will face Daniel Appah in a potentially explosive welterweight clash.

After making the trip down to Lagos, virtually all the fighters quickly hit the private but well equipped gym belonging to the President of Akalaka Spirit of the Warrior Dr Ebere Bernard who doubles as the Director of Youth Development of the Nigeria Mixed Martial Arts Federation NMMAF.

The essence of the gym session is to fine-tune final strategies and also get ready to make the required weights during weigh in.

The official weigh-in, face-off and press conference have been scheduled for Friday (today) 27 January 2023 at Muson Center Onikan Lagos, same venue for the championship, the next day, 28 January.
