WAOH!! Nigerian boxer Efe Ajagba knocks out opponent in just Round One at Rio (Photos)

This Naija boxer, Efe Ajagba, is damn strong. It took him just 23 seconds to knockout his Trinidad & Tobago opponent, Nigel Paul, in Boxing Super Heavyweight 91kg category at Rio 2016 Olympics.


Efe is Nigeria's sole representative in boxing at the Olympic Games and he outclassed his opponent in round one, to show why he is highly rated and tipped as a prospective medalist in the event.

Ajagba, who won the 2015 African Games showed a high level of confidence, aiming all his punches accurately which paid-off, and in less than a minute he sent Paul crashing.

No boxer has won by a knockout in Rio except the Nigerian, who won Bronze at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014. Ajagba has qualified for the quarter-finals and is billed to face a very stern test against Ivan Dychko from Kazakhstan on Tuesday, August 16. We wish him well!
