Coach Anthony Chukwuemeka Konyegwachie has tipped Nigeria’s sole entrant in Boxing, Efe Ajagba to win a medal for Team Nigeria at the Rio Games.
Boxing takes the centre stage on Saturday inside the Riocentro-Pavilion 6 and Trinidad and Tobago’s Nigel Paul would provide the first acid test for the Nigerian boxer.
Ajagba brought himself to reckoning at the Commonwealth Games in 2014 when he first represented Nigeria and settled for a bronze medal.
The lanky boxer also won gold at the 2015 All African Games.
