**Hamilton, New Zealand** – Nigerian boxer Bolatito “Black Tito” Oluwole suffered her first professional loss on Saturday night, falling to New Zealand’s Lani Daniels via unanimous decision in their IBF women’s light-heavyweight title fight at Claudelands Arena.
Daniels, the defending champion, dominated the fight, using her experience and tactical prowess to outbox the previously undefeated Oluwole. The judges scored the fight 100-90, 97-93, and 98-92 in favor of Daniels after 10 rounds.
Oluwole, who entered the fight with a perfect record of nine wins, including five knockouts, was unable to keep up with Daniels’ speed and precision. Despite a valiant effort, the 22-year-old Nigerian struggled to find her rhythm against the more seasoned champion.
Daniels, who now boasts 11 career wins, fought confidently on home soil, receiving the support of the local crowd. She cemented her position at the top of the division with this successful title defense.
This loss marks a significant moment in Oluwole’s career. However, her performance against the two-time IBF world champion can be seen as a valuable learning experience. The Nigerian national champion, who had been making waves in the light-heavyweight division, still has a bright future ahead of her in the boxing world.
Fans will be eager to see how she bounces back from this defeat and what challenges she will take on next.
