Alhaji Alade who on Sunday at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos held the season 4 of his professional boxing  promotion/ season 5 of his outfit’s amateur fights  said that his decision to be organising both amateur and professional boxing simultaneously is to encourage boxers at all levels noting that the decision has made him the promoter to beat in the country.

” At De-Lads Boxing Promotion, we give equal opportunities to both amateur and professional fighters and it has really helped in the development of the game.

“Prior to our coming on board, we discovered that many boxers don’t fight at the amateur level before joining the paid ranks which does not help their game.

“There is no denying the fact that as an amateur, you must have learnt the rudiments of the game and be prepared physically, mentally and psychologically before becoming a professional and that’s why we promote the two together”, he explained.
