Nigerian boxer Olaitan Olaore has been defeated in the men’s 92kg heavyweight boxing category at the ongoing Olympics in Paris, France. Olaore lost to Kazakhstan’s Oralbay Aibek, who secured a 5-0 win on points.
Aibek dominated the bout, winning all three rounds with unanimous support from the five judges, who scored the match 30-26 in his favor. This victory advances Aibek to the next round of the competition.
Olaore’s defeat means Nigeria’s hopes for a medal in boxing have been dashed. Earlier, Cynthia Ogunsemilore was disqualified after failing a doping test, and Dolapo Omole was ruled out due to injury.
With this loss, Nigeria’s chances of winning a medal in boxing at the Olympics have come to an end.
