Babalola who is also the director of Innovations, Nigerian Navy told Sports Vanguard exclusively that he decided to join the boxing board as his own modest way of enhancing sports development.
Babalola who is a boxing enthusiast noted that as someone who has been involved in the running and administration of the boxing, said he wants to add his quota to the development of the sport as a board member.
