(SEPT 1) Nigeria boxer Bolatito Oluwole has arrived in New Zealand for her world title opportunity against two-division world champion and the IBF Light Heavyweight defending champion Maori boxer Lani Daniels.

Oluwole arrived at Auckland airport last Friday at 2:30 a.m. to prepare for her first world title opportunity at Globox Arena (formerly known as Claudelands Arena) on September 7th in Hamilton, live on Sky Sports. She now has less than a week to climatise in a new country and overcome jetlag before the fight of her career.

While she is here, she does not plan to do much sightseeing as she is here to focus on the fight. “I’m not going to be here long enough to enjoy too much. It’s more training and focusing on the fight night right now”. She is not here for pleasure, its all strictly business from here on out.She feels confident that she can beat the world champion Lani Daniels, stating, “My confidence is 100 per cent for this fight.” She is a person of few words. She does not have any predictions for the fight, only to “just to get there and get it done”.

For those who don’t know Bolatito Oluwole, she is ranked highly across the board, ranked 1st in IBF, 1st in WBO, 5th on Boxrec, and 6th in WBA. She is currently undefeated with 9 wins, 5 of those wins come by way of knockout. She currently holds the Kenyan national Crusierweight title, one of three professional boxing national champions in the world who is a female crusierweight champion.

With five wins by knockout, she will technically be the hardest hitter Lani Daniels has ever fought. However, looking at Oluwole CV, her toughest opponent she has ever fought was Celina Agwu, who is currently 3 - 1 - 0. The rest of Oluwole's past opponents have had less than two fights. So the question is, does Oluwole have strength, or has she only fought easy opponents?

Daniels has had more fights, more rounds and an extensive amateur boxing career. Not to mention a two-division world champion, current IBF Light Heavyweight world champion, three-time New Zealand national professional boxing champion, first-ever ANBF Australasian Heavyweight female champion and a two-division New Zealand amateur champion.

This comes down to Nigerian power vs. the Maori experience.

Also on the undercard will feature Joseph Parker's younger brother, John Parker vs the Fijian Alivereti Kauyaca for the WBA Oceania Crusierweight title, with the winner to begin the progress of a top 15 world ranking in the WBA.

Other fights including Tauranga Rini Porter vs Auckland Jesse Maio, New Zealand national (PBCNZ version) Crusierweight champion Tinta Smith vs Tiani Barlow and in a semi pro fight Michael Peterson vs Riki Sharpe.

The event will feature a mixture of kickboxing, amateur boxing and tag team kickboxing.

IBF World Light Heavyweight title defence Lani Daniels vs Bolatito Oluwole will happen 7th of September at Globox Arena (formerly known as Claudelands Arena) on September 7th in Hamilton, live on Sky Sports.
