Agboola, speaking from his base in Ibadan, dismissed Adeleke as a boxer not yet prepared for the intensity demanded at national level.
He said Adeleke lacked the experience and composure required for a championship contest and vowed to make the challenger pay for stepping up too soon.
The event will feature live music and comedy alongside two title bouts, an international contest and three additional fights, adding a festive edge to the year’s final edition of the boxing series.
In the evening’s second title match, Sadam Oladipupo, known as Baby Boxer, will face Imole Oloyede, called System, for the national lightweight crown.
On the undercard, Emmanuel Abimbola, named Ability, is set to meet unbeaten Sodiq Suleiman, known as Smart Lion, in an eight-round light welterweight bout.
Abimbola, a former winner of the Mojisola Ogunsanya Memorial Trophy, criticised Suleiman with typical bluntness, asserting that the younger fighter would discover the gulf in power once the contest begins.
Suleiman responded that being underestimated only strengthens his resolve.
Further contests include the lightweight meeting between Segun Gbobaniyi, called Odi, and Tobiloba Ijomoni, known as Smiling Assassin; the super bantamweight clash between Ezekiel Seun, called Touch, and Toheeb Hassan, named Full Tank; and an international fight featuring Nigeria’s Rasheed Idowu, known as ID Buster, against Ghana’s Nii Offei Dodoo.
