decision, 3-2, to Edward Kakembo of Uganda,
This was part of the GOtv Boxing Night
Fights to mark the Boxing Day in Lagos.
Kakembo known as Ring Messiah extensively
used his swift jabs and point blank shots to
keep Usman popularly called Skoro in check in the bout.
The Ugandan, who was making championship
debut outside his country, used his
showmanship, good footwork to leave Skoro to play a second fiddle from as early as the
second round.
