The challenge sets up a dual-division showdown for a Nigerian star looking to extend his dominance beyond the light heavyweight ranks.<\/p>\n<p>Appah won the vacant WBO Africa cruiserweight title on May 1 at the Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel in Lagos. He overcame countryman Ezra \u201cThe King\u201d Arenyeka via a 10-round majority decision, a result that took Appah\u2019s pro record to 15-2-0 with 13 knockouts.<\/p>\n<p>Muibi claimed Appah had already started pre-fight trash talk on social media before moving ahead to secure the title fight, rather than confronting Muibi directly. In Muibi\u2019s view, Appah sidestepped him and instead went after the belt against Arenyeka.<\/p>\n<h2>Weight jump, confidence from the camp<\/h2>\n<p>Muibi said the move to cruiserweight is straightforward, arguing that it is only a small difference in weight. He also referenced earlier events, stating that Appah had called him out on Instagram earlier in the year, but that when Muibi\u2019s management tried to arrange the fight, Appah did not follow through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to move up to cruiserweight,\u201d Muibi said. \u201cI\u2019ve cleaned out my division. All possible challengers here in Nigeria and West Africa are too scared to face me, so I\u2019ve run out of opponents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cIt\u2019s just a five-kilogram difference\u2014an easy jump to make. Earlier this year, Appah called me out on Instagram, saying all kinds of stuff. But when my management tried to make the fight, he ducked and ran. He took the easier option of fighting Ezra Arenyeka for the WBO Africa cruiserweight belt. Congratulations to him on the win, but now I\u2019m coming for him. If he has the balls, he should stop running and face me in the ring. I will break him down, take his title, and become a two-division champion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Muibi\u2019s trainer, Monsuru Kilani\u2014popularly known as Coach Confidence\u2014echoed the same level of belief, insisting the camp is ready to challenge for the belt and remove Appah as champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will beat Zod; I am 100 percent sure of it,\u201d Kilani said. \u201cLekan is no ordinary fighter. He\u2019s too strong, too talented, too ferocious, and too relentless. If Zod has the courage to accept the challenge, I promise he will face the biggest test of his career. We will stop him and take his belt. It\u2019s not a promise; it\u2019s a guarantee.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Fight chatter grows as Lagos boxing regains momentum<\/h2>\n<p>The challenge arrives during a renewed period for professional boxing in Lagos, with stronger attendance and an increasing number of headline local matchups drawing attention across the sporting community.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, April 26, the National Stadium in Surulere saw a packed atmosphere at Brai Ayanote Boxing Hall for a highly anticipated Lagos derby. In that outing, Taiwo \u201cEsepo\u201d Agbaje captured the vacant WBA Africa lightweight title by beating previously unbeaten promotional rival Tosin \u201cSojar Boy\u201d Osaigbovo. Agbaje won by a 10-round unanimous decision.<\/p>\n<p>With local matchmaking gaining momentum, attention is now set on whether Appah\u2019s camp will formally respond to Muibi\u2019s cross-divisional challenge and confirm the next steps toward a title fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigeria\u2019s pro boxing scene is gearing up for a major step-up fight after reigning Nigerian and West African light heavyweight champion Lekan \u201cThe Engine\u201d Muibi issued a formal challenge to newly crowned WBO Africa cruiserweight titleholder Godday \u201cZodsolo\u201d Appah.
