(SEPT 5) There has been a
last-minute change for the world title defence between IBF Light
Heavyweight champion Lani Daniels vs. Bolatito Oluwole as the
promoters move away from Sky to go live on YouTube.
The current market for boxing promoters has gotten expensive. As
not many people know, the promoters have to pay for the
televised production company, with no financial return from the
broadcaster itself, Sky TV.
Putting on a world title fight is expensive, not only for the
sanctioning fees but also for flying in officials from overseas,
flying and paying for a credible opponent, and more, which can
cost just one fight over $50k. Due to this, the promoters at
Ironfist Promotions had decided to move their event away from
Sky TV to save money and instead broadcast the event live on
YouTube.
Not only has this become more cost-effective for the promoter,
but it also creates an opportunity for people worldwide to watch
the event. In particular, Nigeria is supporting Bolatito Oluwole,
and Fiji is supporting Alivereti Kauyaca, who will be taking on
Joseph Parker's younger brother, John Parker, for the WBA
Oceania Crusierweight title.
There could be invested interest in Australia and America as the
winner of Daniels vs. Oluwole could be fighting to unify their
titles with WBA World Light Heavyweight champion Che Kenneally
from Australia and WBC, WBO & WBF Unified World Heavyweight
champion Claressa Shields. On top of that, former WBC World
Heavyweight champion Canadian Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse might be
interested in taking on the winner as she attempts to reclaim a
world title.
Other fights include Tauranga Rini Porter vs. Auckland Jesse
Maio and a semi-pro fight between Michael Peterson and Riki
Sharpe.
The event will feature kickboxing, amateur boxing and tag team
kickboxing.
One of the amateur boxing fights will feature Shortland Street
star Zak Martin, who plays Dr. Rahu Parata. Martin has been very
successful in his amateur boxing career in 2024. Martin has just
returned from Australia, where he won a Gold medal at the 2024
Australian Golden Gloves held in Mansfield, Queensland.
The IBF World Light Heavyweight title defence between Lani
Daniels and Bolatito Oluwole will take place on September 7th at
Globox Arena (formerly known as Claudelands Arena) in Hamilton,
live on YouTube. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketek.
