And this is not the first time that a young Nigerian has exhibited incredible boxing skills. Several months back, a young Nigerian boy was sparring just like a professional boxer - as fans were left stunned.

Footage showed how his coach handed him a combination of punches, and the little boy made several swerves as he was a delight to watch.

On social media, a fan wrote:

“For those asking, I don’t know the lad or his trainer personally. I saw the video on my WhatsApp & felt the need to share on here with hope that it’d go viral until the right agency or interested persons of influence would find the lad & help nurture his raw talent to greatness.”
