Hearing on the lawsuit begins at Court 4 of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, sitting in Abuja on the case number ABJ/CS/1231/2021.

Bashir Ali, the World Boxing Federation (WBF) Cruiserweight champion, prides himself as the only boxer to win every cruiserweight boxing title ever conceived.

The former World Boxing Federation (WBF) Cruiserweight champion had blamed corruption and bad administration for the delay of his much-awaited Guinness World Record fight in Nigeria that could earn him the oldest boxer in the world to win a world title.

For about 16 years, the cruiserweight boxer has been carrying out a campaign to place himself and Nigeria on the Guinness World Record as the oldest boxer.
