Champion of tomorrow - Nigerian teen boxer sees glorious future
The Peninsula
LAGOS: Skipping from one foot to the other in the tropical heat of Lagos, teenage boxer Tijani Abdulazeez dreams of greatness as he trains in the open air on a patch of dusty ground.
Known to family, friends and fans as TJ, the 15-year-old's trophies already adorn the living room of his modest home in Alagbado, a ramshackle neighbourhood on the megacity's outskirts. TJ's dream is to be spotted by a scout, preferably someone from the Nigerian diaspora, who could whisk him away to a country where he could train at a proper indoor boxing gym and compete with the best.
