Wild sport ain't gonna lie.
He was outboxed in every round but found the grit and experience to be the last man standing
RESPECT HRGOVIC.
Itauma is 21yrs so will grow to learn from this. He went gun blazing too early and that cost him.
What a finger that was.

He entered the ring chasing a
dream... but one fight changed his life forever.
The heartbreaking story of Prichard Colón is one of the darkest reminders of just how dangerous boxing can be.
In 2015, Colón was only 23 years old-an undefeated rising star with a professional record of 16-0. During his fight against Terrel Williams, he suffered repeated blows to the back of the head. After the fight, everything changed.
Colón became seriously ill and was rushed to the hospital, where doctors discovered severe bleeding in his brain.
He underwent emergency surgery and later remained in a coma for 221 days.
He survived-but the young fighter who entered that ring never returned to the life he once knew.
For nearly 11 years, Prichard lived with devastating neurological injuries while his family, especially his mother, remained beside him through an unimaginable journey.
On August 13, 2026, Prichard Colón passed away at only 33 years old.
A few moments inside a boxing ring changed the course of an entire life.
He fought for victory that night... but afterward, he began the longest and hardest fight of his life.
11 years of fighting. 11 years of hope. And now, finally, rest.
His story leaves us with one painful question:
Could this tragedy have been prevented if the fight had been stopped earlier?
Rest in peace, Prichard Colón.
Your story will never be forgotten.
@TheOddSolace He has been immense for Naija and Fulham in recent months. He'll only get better and with his steady improvement he might get signed up in no distant future to "the bigger boys".
Can only wish him the best.
This is an incredible time for a homemade athlete
The bottom line is apart from facilities (very important) which is very important, more competitions for home base athletes will put them on a pedestrian to compete favourably (to an extent) with the "PRO/NCAA" guys
Iyanuoluwa Aderemi drops 50.95s to win the first heat of the women’s 400 metres inspiring Esther Okon to 51.52s.
Aderemi now rank in 3rd this season on the Nigerian list.
Both athletes set a lifetime best at the Dynamic Athletics Meet at the Yabatech Sports Complex.
@TheOddSolace We all saw these coming in 1 way or another but most fans and pundits alike spend all the time in the world dragging players who are products of a failed administration for consistent underwhelming results.
The question is where do we go from here?@thenff
@TheOddSolace I'm disappointed at a journalists on X brandishing her as selfish especially for someone like her that dished out over 6 assists in the last WAFCON including 1 in the final where she could have gone for glory. I know emotions are high but nah it's appalling to say the least.
@kadeolusegun@Beeorlicious Yes the coach has his faults but I think the biggest problem is @thenff. Imagine Gusau after all the failures in the last 4yrs still campaigning for continuity of failure. Naija na movie
@TheOddSolace Best football we've played all tournament long but whew MADUGU did his thing and the rest is history. As for @thenff '06/'22/'26 for S/Eagles was a norm so I don't see '27 for S/Falcons will be different in their sight.
Something has to change for our football to excel.
A decade of continuous impact. 🏀⚡️
10 years of turning raw passion into purpose, refining fundamentals, and shaping champions far beyond the baseline.
The Aminu Good Works Foundation Basketball Camp returns for Edition X.
#AGWF#AGWF10#AlFarouqAminu
Beautiful win for S/Falcons
Brazil '28 still alive
Madugu has loads of Tactical switch to do to get the best outta the team (if he can)
Truth be told I'm scared of how underwhelming we can be in knockout rd but still believe in the girls (not the coach)
#wafcon
Some coaches win games. Others change the direction of a generation.
@Coach_Rena is doing the latter.
She has shown that leadership isn't about noise, it's about vision, courage, preparation, and belief. Every time her team steps onto the court, you can see her fingerprints in their discipline, confidence, and fight.
She isn't just coaching basketball; she's redefining what's possible for African women's basketball and inspiring countless young girls to dream bigger.
The future of African basketball is brighter because Rena Wakama chose to lead.
Take a bow, Coach. The game is better because of you.
