Head of the 8-man medical support team to Nigeria’s contingent at the 2008 Olympic Games, Dr Akin Amao has said that Nigeria’s Izobo Dauda, who was beaten by his Ghanaian rival, Samir Bastie, will require surgery to enable him to stay on his chosen career.
Dauda had a dislocation in his wrist during the fight at which the Ghanaian traumatized him. He took three trips to the canvass before a bad third round hook compelled the referee to stop the contest.
He took counts in each of the three rounds but in the third, he appeared dazed, forcing the referee TO call off the fight, to stem further punishments.
“For now, he is okay but will need surgery sometime later,” Amao said, adding that the wrist is in a critical area of the body for boxers. Izobo may stay away from the sport for the next six months.
