Mayowa will be back!! Nigerian boxer, Mayowa Shukurat has big prospects. She is the reigning African Champion in the women's 48kg Boxing event, and interestingly, it was Algeria's Bouthaina Bensalah whom she defeated to win the title in Angola. The Algerian got her pound of flesh in Dakar, winning their rematch on points. This rivalry could last a long time, and they will possibly be fighting each other in the future.
