Career

[edit]

In 2003, southpaw Bolum, who works for the Nigerian Air Force, won the silver medal at the All-Africa Games in Abuja, Nigeria.

At the Olympics he was defeated in the quarterfinals of the bantamweight (54 kg) division by Thailand's eventual runner-up Worapoj Petchkoom.

At the Commonwealth Games he was edged out by eventual winner Akhil Kumar in the semifinal.

In November 2023, Bolum announced to the Guardian that he is returning to the boxing ring to face Luke Martin.[2][3][needs update]
