A former Nigerian boxer and first-ever Olympic medalist, Nojim Maiyegun has d!ed at the age of 83.

A confidante, Rudolfine F Soultan, confirmed the d3ath of the boxer in a Facebook post on Monday.

The post read, “My Jimmy d!ed. I can’t say more about this right now because it’s just horrible. The day after tomorrow, we would have been together for 17 years.”

Maiyegun was reportedly battling an unnamed illness for a couple of months.

At 23, he won Nigeria’s first Olympic media (Bronze) in the light-heavyweight boxing category at Tokyo 1964.
