Nigeria still has five more games to grab a medal in, as the Nigerian male boxing team is set to return to the country following their defeat in the preliminaries of their games at the ongoing London 2012 Olympics.
The defeat saw Nigerian Lukmon Lawal losing on a 7-19 points to his Jordanian opponent Ihab Almatbouli in the men’s lightweight category.
Meanwhile, teammate Muideen Akanji had on Saturday lost 6-15 to Dareen O’ Neil of the Republic of Ireland in their men’s middleweight.
They would be returning with their counterparts in Table Tennis who lost in all their games over the weekend.
The country however looks on with hopeful expectation on the yet to be completed five games in which they feature.
