Nigeria’s first-ever Olympic medalist is d3ad

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 according to The Cable breathed his last on Monday morning at his base in Vienna, Austria.

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.
