  "summary": "Former Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, has praised the commitment and performances of young boxers as the Lagos Boxing Hall of Fame (LBHF) celebrated its 150th divisional championship. The one-day tournament held at the Mobolaji Johnson Sports Centre, Rowe Park, featured 10 bouts, including men’s and women’s contests, and two exhibition fights involving secondary school students. Edun, who founded the non-profit initiative in 2010, commended the initiative's role in nurturing young talents and providing opportunities for amateur boxing talent to showcase their abilities. The divisional championships serve as a platform for discovering and developing amateur boxing talent across Lagos, with the latest edition being particularly significant as it marked the 150th staging of the competition.",
