Financial Assistance: Dele Jonathan Thanks GOtv Boxing Night Organisers

Boxing legend, Dele Jonathan, has expressed appreciation to the organisers of GOtv Boxing Night for the financial assistance given him. Jonathan, who is afflicted with bladder and prostate enlargement and requires surgery, said the organisers of the boxing tourney have shown that they want him to live longer and in good health.

“I am happy for what GOtv Boxing Night has done for me and what it is doing for boxing. May God bless GOtv Boxing Night and everyone connected to GOtv. I will not die now. I will live longer by the grace of God,” the former boxing champion said.
