Watch as Nigerian boxer slumps in the middle of fight at Bukom Boxing Arena

In a viral video circulating on social media and sighted by GhanaWeb, Olanrewaju was seen delivering quick punches to his opponent, who responded in kind.

Not long after that, the Nigerian boxer momentarily lost his balance and then slumped to the canvas of the boxing ring.

As he slumped, he hanged helplessly on the ropes before the referee, noticing something was badly wrong, rushed to him and called for medical assistance.

As seen in the video, the health officials tried to help him with some first aid.

Accounts of the event said later that he was rushed to the nearest health facility, the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

The Ghana Boxing Authority is yet to comment or release an official statement regarding the collapse of the Nigerian boxer, as well as furnish the public with details about his condition.

Before the unfortunate incident on Saturday, March 29, 2025, Olanrewaju had previously fought Idowu Raheed at the Campos Mini Stadium in Lagos on Christmas eve, December 24, 2024.
