Agnes Ajayi Olanrewaju, the mother of late Nigerian boxer Segun ‘Success’ Olanrewaju, has recounted a family conflict that began when she advised her son to retire from professional boxing due to health concerns.

Speaking in an interview with PUNCH, she explained that she had repeatedly warned her son about the risks associated with the sport, particularly the repeated blows to the head he endured during fights.

She urged him to limit his participation, achieve his immediate goals, and then step away honorably, suggesting he could continue boxing as a leisure activity in the future. Her intention was to support the couple’s aspirations while prioritizing her son’s long-term well-being.
