Lyonga Damisa, Nigeria's engineering graduate boxer and an electrifying Light Heavyweight hopeful goes up against South Africa's Oscar Malan-the African champion-a traditional pound-for-pound pugilist who has a reputation for taking no prisoners. If all goes well, the impending showdown looks set to become the digital age version of the iconoclastic 'rumble in the jungle' of the mid-1970s. The brain behind this massive fight is Patience Azar, flamboyant young female business mogul who upstages Mr. Ojomo, doyen of the fistic business in Nigeria. She however has to win over an often heralded but seemingly invisible South African boxing czar if her investments in a once-in-a-lifetime boxing duel must yield the anticipated returns. Continental and global boxing federations get set to cash in on the outcome, bankers gloat over incredible returns, global TV audiences lustfully await the fight, while traditional media titles feast on the crumbs of what could turn out to be the biggest payday of their most extreme imagination. Africa's first 7-star hotel is the venue...but the entire globe is the platform. You don't have to like sports but if you love adventure, suspense and drama, then you'd love Adebayo Olowo-Ake's Time and Chance.
