  "summary": "The Universal Boxing Council (UBC) has announced the return of its \"Night of Champions\" series with Episode 2 scheduled for September 26. The event promises a star-studded card featuring one international bout, a cross-border clash with high stakes, and a UBC African title fight where top contenders will vie for the continental belt. Additionally, the event will showcase Nigerian boxing talent, following the success of the series' opener. Organisers have hinted at an even bigger event, \"The Banga,\" set to feature UBC African, international, and world title fights, as well as two Nigerian national title bouts involving female boxers. Details for Episode 3's venue are yet to be finalized, but the National Stadium in Lagos and a venue in Apapa, Lagos, are the leading contenders. Interested sponsors and advertisers can reach out to Nanmet Promotions, while fighters, managers, and agents seeking a spot on the Episode 3 card should contact the organisation's matchmakers.",
