Saheed Gbolagade, a young, skilful and very calculating boxer who at the weekend was adjudged the overall best boxer in the Lagos State Hall of Fame Boxing Competition for the month of October has commended Starcomms Plc for its unwavering commitment to the development of boxing in the country.
The competition, which is organised monthly by the Lagos State Boxing Hall of Fame in conjunction with the Lagos State Amateur Boxing Association, is sponsored by Starcomms Plc.
Gbolagade, who is from the M. Pioneer Boxing Club, was ecstatic 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 monthly boxing competition.
Speaking shortly after receiving the Starcomms Overall Best Boxer prize at the colourful event, energetic Gbolagade said he was excited to be the October winner of the competition.
He further stated that Starcomms involvement in boxing sponsorship has helped to bring promising boxers like him to limelight, adding that, he is proud to be a winner that is associated with a winning brand.
Continuing, the obviously delighted and rapturous winner of the Starcomms prize said that he was happy that Starcomms has created an avenue where young boxing talents are being discovered, adding that the support of Starcomms for the boxing event should be commended and encouraged by government.
It would be recalled that in the month of August, Kate Peters, a female boxer emerged as the first female winner of the Starcomms overall best boxer prize. Starcomms has for some years sponsored the monthly Lagos State Boxing Hall of Fame Competition, which holds at the Mobolaji Johnson Hall Sports Complex, Rowe Park,Lagos. The event holds on the last Saturday of every month.
