Organisers of the Dambe Warriors League Fight 8 were completely swept off their feet with record crowd of spectators that thronged the arena in Abuja.
The crowd was so large at the arena that organizers had to turn away patrons well before the festivities even began. It is becoming increasingly clear that Dambe Warriors are the premier Dambe organisation in all of Nigeria, and by extension, the rest of the world.
In the Lightweight division, both Zayyanu and Yar Mage continued their dominance. Each warrior remains undefeated this Season with a record of 3 wins and 0 losses after their punishing defeats of Chindo and Kudawa, respectively. Additionally, Autan Ali Kanin Bello rediscovered his winning ways with a convincing knockout of Dogon Sisco, who has yet to find the winners circle since Season Two began and is at risk of being relegated from the League.
In the Middleweights, Shaaban and Ramadan continued their quest to match up in Superfight. Ramadan destroyed Ondo by way of knockout in the third round, while Shaaban emerged victorious over Zazu on points by a score of 81-75. If the Season ended today, Ondo would be eliminated from the League. The most shocking result of the division though was the knockout of Bahagon Dogo Maitakwasara at the hands of aging legend Dan Nigeria, much to the delight of the packed arena.
The Heavyweight division proved that the cream would always rise to the top. Season 01 champion Dogo Maitakwasara dethroned top-ranked Dogon Shamsu with a vicious first round knockout, while Ali Kanin Bello remained undefeated and dominated Dogon Sani by a score of 87-77. Elsewhere, Garkuwan Dutse found the winners circle by a convincing defeat of Dage, who has yet to find success in the second season and is facing relegation.
DWL Season 02 Sponsors Bet9ja, Hero Hunter Power Bikes, Infinite Energy Drinks, Indomie, Hypo, Power Oil, Colgate, Pop Cola, Amstel Malta, and Aiico are proud to bring the vision of Dambe Warriors to reality and are looking forward to bring the excitement to Kano on February 4th.
