Ibadan-based boxer Moses Samuel, known as ‘Apataroro,’ is fast becoming more fearful of potential opponents in the boxing ring after recording three consecutive knockouts in his recent bouts.
Moses Apataroro, during a boxing show held inside the indoor sports hall of Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, Ibadan, on Saturday, 24th December 2022, tagged ‘The Brawl’ finished off his opponent, Bashiru Lookman, in the second round of the bout.
Bashiru sustained a deep cut to his left eye after receiving a right uppercut from Moses Apataroro and could not continue with the fight, which gave the heavy puncher a knockout victory in the National Super Featherweight Challenge fight.
It would be recalled that Apataroro recorded a similar victory in November after he condemned his opponent in a National Challenge Boxing Contest held at the Teslim Balogun Stadium Lagos. He beat Rafiu Raji within two rounds and 41 seconds to boost his box record.
Speaking with the newsmen after the Ibadan fight, Apataroro, who has a long reach and keeps his opponent at bay, especially with his jab thanked his teeming fans that always come out in large numbers to cheer him while sounding notes of warning to any potential opponents to go to the ring with a stretcher.
“I want to use this opportunity to thank my fans who always used their hard-earned money to purchase tickets to watch my fight. I can’t thank you enough. And to my fellow boxers in the same category as me, they should be ready for hospital admission before contemplating challenging me,” Apataroro yelled.
