According to reports, Holyfield who
is billed to slug it out with former Lagos State Governor and National Leader
of All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola
Tinubu at an exhibition boxing match, is in Lagos as part of activities marking
the Golden Jubilee anniversary of the State, and to also give back to the
society through his foundation.
Speaking during the visit at the
State House in Ikeja today, Holyfield said he was in Nigeria to give back to
the society having achieved so much in life especially in boxing.
Responding, Governor Ambode lauded the achievements of five-time
world cruiserweight and heavyweight boxing champion, describing him as the
greatest living boxer of all times.
The governor, who described the
visit of the boxing legend to Lagos as historic, said there was no better way
to showcase sports as catalyst for growth than the collaboration of such an
icon as Holyfield.
