WBC Samuel Peters

Adding voices to the pro-Nigeria group in recent times are Mr. Francis Aiyegbeni, the Vice-President of the World Boxing Organization, and a renowned boxing promoter who has called on Peter's manager to open up to Nigerians on the possible obstacles that hinder the hosting of the proposed bout in Nigeria, positing that the country has all it takes to stage the bout.

Also towing Aiyegbeni's line of argument is an Ibadan-based boxing enthusiast, Mr. Ignatius Nwachukwu,he is asking Peter's camp to categorically state the areas where the individual and corporate Nigeria can assist in the staging of the fight in Nigeria, as well as called on the federal government to assist in making the dream a reality.
