Akinyele told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that all is well in camp and that the boxers have intensified their training since the camp started.
“All is well in camp, we are not facing any challenges at all, in fact we also learnt of the so called challenges through the media but all this is not true.
“We have two boxers in camp, Omole Dolapo and Cynthia Ogunsemilore are currently training ahead of the Paris Olympic Games to hold July 26 to Aug. 11,” he said.
