Nigeria’s UFC fighter, Israel Adesanya, has made headlines by placing a $4,000 bet (approximately N6.5 million) on Enyimba to win their rescheduled matchday three fixture against Lobi Stars. The highly anticipated clash is scheduled to take place on Wednesday at the Enyimba International Stadium in Aba.
Adesanya announced his wager on his X handle, generating considerable excitement among his fans and the football community.
“It’s a goal,” he posted alongside a photo of himself in an Enyimba jersey.
With this bet, Adesanya is predicting that the nine-time Nigeria Premier Football League champions will secure a victory, with an estimated payout of $5,930. This wager follows his previous $10,000 bet on Anthony Joshua’s IBF heavyweight fight against Daniel Dubois, which occurred on Saturday.
