Nigerian Boxer, Jafaru Loses First Career Bout In France

Nigerian boxer, Suleiman Jafaru lost his unbeaten record when he suffered a knockout defeat against Milan Prat of France.

Jafaru lost the first bout of his career after a woeful performance at the Casino de Deauville in Calvados, France on Sunday night.

Prat produced a stunning performance to knock out Jafaru in the second round to clinch the AXIDS super-welterweight title.

Jafaru was aggressive in the first round but ran out of steam in the second round to give Prat an opportunity to earn a technical knockout victory.

Jafaru now holds a record of 15 wins, with 12 coming on a knockout basis, with just one loss. While Prat has won 17 of his 22 bouts through knockouts, losing just once.

It was Jafaru’s first fight outside the shores of Nigeria and he will be hoping to bounce back quickly following a poor performance in France.

He started his professional boxing career in 2019.
