Nigeria’s Last Boxer Falls Short at Paris 2024 Olympics

Nigeria’s last hope in the boxing event at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Adam Olaore, has been eliminated.

Olaore lost to Kazakhstan’s Aibek Oralbay in the round of 16 of the men’s 92 kg heavyweight category. 

Following the disqualification of Cynthia Ogunsemilore, Olaore was the country's only remaining competitor. 

Despite high hopes, Olaore was defeated in all three rounds, losing 30-26 to Oralbay. This defeat extends Nigeria’s Olympic boxing medal drought, which has lasted since 1996.
