In 2016 he won the gold in the super heavyweight event at the African Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament held in Yaoundé, Cameroon. By doing so Ajagba qualified to represent Nigeria at the 2016 Summer Olympics to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.] In the first round Ajagba beat Ugandan Michael Sekamembe on points,[8] he defeated Tunisian boxer Aymen Trabelsi in the semifinal to secure his qualification, then in the final he beat Mohamed Arjaoui of Morocco. |

[quote author=zynzyn post=76534044][/quote] Ajagba was Nigeria's only representative in 2016 Olympic Boxing. But he didn't go far, whereas Tony Yoka (France) and Joe Joyce (Britain) won Gold and Silver respectively. |

Efe's Rivals 1. Tony Yoka Yoka won Gold in the Super Heavyweight Division at the 2016 Olympics in which Ajagba failed to win a medal. Since turning pro, his record is 5 wins out of 5 fights, 4 coming by stoppage. His last win has been particularly big, as it comes against David Allen, an opponent who took top contender Dillian Whyte the full distance.. This confirms Yoka's status as a world class pro!

zynzyn: Yoka is an authentic big heavyweight at 6 Foot 7! |

zynzyn: With some brain cells too. Yoka is equally better tortured in the game of boxing than Efe. Ajagba is a ill-prepared Nigerian who lacked the game's tactics. |

zynzyn: 2. Joe Joyce Beaten to the Gold medal in Rio in 2016, Joyce, aware that time is not on his side (he won the Silver at age 30 and is now 33 going on 34) seems particularly anxious for a world title shot ASAP!

zynzyn: Particularly against Anthony Joshua, a familiar opponent at amateurs who beat him to the British ticket for the 2012 Olympics. Joyce, in his own words, wants to step out of AJ's shadow!

Joyce seems to be getting the best recognition, management and ultimately, fights! He is seizing the opportunity, winning all his eight fights so far by knockout!
