Commonwealth champion, Oborududu, won her fight against Elis Manolova in the round of 16 and secured a hard-fought win against Meerim Zhumanazarova in the quarterfinals. She then went on to position herself in the history books, despite an injury she suffered along the line, with a victory over 2012 bronze medalist, Battsetseg Soronzonbold in the semifinals, setting up a thrilling final against Tamyra Mensah of the United States of America.
Commending the two athletes, Senior Brand Manager, Amstel Malta, Aminah Jagun said, “As proud sponsors of Team Nigeria, we are proud of the resilience the athletes have shown at the Olympic Games.
