Balmoral Group, Nigerian leading 360 events solutions company, hosted winners of the Game Rush ‘Chaos in The Ring’ boxing event to a courtesy visit led by its CEO, Dr Ezekiel Adamu, at the Balmoral headquarters in Ikoyi, on 26, September, 2024. The visit celebrated the athletes for their victories in the landmark boxing series organised by Balmoral Group’s sporting subsidiary, Game Rush. Dr. Adamu encouraged the champions to leverage this pivotal moment in their careers and strive for global recognition.
During the visit, Dr. Adamu announced the next boxing showdown slated for 26th December 2024. “The success of ‘Chaos in the Ring’ has inspired us to continue expanding the horizons of Nigerian boxing, and we look forward to delivering another exciting event this December,” he said.


Notable attendees included Mr. Remi Aboderin, Secretary-General of the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control (NBBofC) and President of the West African Boxing Union, alongside the victorious champions: Kazeem Lawal (National Super Welterweight Challenge Winner), Basit ‘Jokerboy’ Adebayo (National Lightweight Challenge Winner), Joy Nene Ojo (National Female Super Bantamweight Challenge Winner), Yusuf ‘Hungry Lion’ Ogunbunmi (National Light Welterweight Challenge Winner), Rasheed ‘Faliboy’ Adeyemo (National Middleweight Challenge Winner), Agba Meshack (National Cruiserweight Challenge Winner), and Nurudeen Salawu (National Super Flyweight Title Fight Winner).


Addressing the winners, Dr. Adamu said, “You’ve done an incredible job in the ring. Now, it’s time to carry that same energy outside of it—be intentional, feel the success, and build on it. It’s not just about your achievements in the ring but how you carry yourself beyond it.”
He also reinforced Balmoral Group’s ongoing support for Nigerian athletes: “Through Game Rush, we’re not only providing platforms for athletes to showcase their talents but also equipping them with the resources, exposure, and opportunities to excel, both locally and internationally.”

On behalf of the athletes, Joy Nene Ojo, the National Female Super Bantamweight Challenge winner, highlighted the need for better equipment and facilities. Dr. Adamu acknowledged these concerns and assured the group that Balmoral would continue to prioritise the growth of the sport and athletes’ access to top-tier resources.
The event concluded with a celebratory photo session, marking a new chapter for the athletes as they prepare for even greater accomplishments ahead. Balmoral Group, through Game Rush, aims to foster grassroots sports development, nurture the next generation of athletes, and provide unforgettable experiences for sports enthusiasts across Nigeria.
