Adeleke is chasing his first national title, while Agboola looks to defend his crown in what promises to be a defining matchup for both fighters.
Adding an international flavor, Nigeria’s Rasheed “ID Buster” Idowu will face Ghana’s Nii Offei Dodoo in a catchweight bout, continuing a familiar West African rivalry. Other confirmed fights include Segun “Odi” Gbobaniyi vs. Tobiloba “Smiling Assassin” Ijomoni (lightweight), Sodiq “Smart Lion” Suleiman vs. Emmanuel “Ability” Abimbola (light welterweight), Ezekiel “Touch” Seun vs. Toheeb “Full Tank” Hassan (super bantamweight), and Sadam “Baby Boxer” Oladipupo vs. Imole “System” Oloyede.
Beyond the ring, the Jam Festival edition will offer live music and comedy performances, blending sports and entertainment. Fast-rising artistes Shoday and Mavo are set to perform, alongside comedy group Triclowns, ensuring a lively Boxing Day experience for fans.
