Sponsorship deal announced ahead of headline Dillian Whyte bout in Saudi Arabia

Bet9ja – Nigeria’s leading sportsbook, powered by Logifuture – has announced a partnership with heavyweight boxing sensation Moses Itauma.

Itauma, a 20-year-old British fighter of Nigerian descent, has rapidly become one of boxing’s most compelling figures, with an unbeaten professional record, having stopped 10 of his 12 opponents since turning professional in 2023.

The sponsorship deal comes as Itauma prepares for the biggest fight of his career – against Britain’s Dillian Whyte in a headline bout in Saudi Arabia on Saturday (August 16).

Bet9ja’s logo will be prominently displayed on Itauma’s training gear, as well as his ringside team’s clothing during fights. He is also contributing to a series of videos and digital content that fans will enjoy via Bet9ja’s social channels.

For Bet9ja, this sponsorship reflects their deep commitment to supporting Nigerian excellence in sports. As Nigeria’s number one sportsbook, Bet9ja, with Logifuture’s cutting-edge technology and marketing power behind it, continues to push boundaries.

Earlier this year, Bet9ja announced its renewed support for Nigeria national football team’s “Let’s Do It Again” campaign in the build up to the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Bet9ja is powered by Logifuture, a leading provider of iGaming products, including Simulate and Zoom Soccer – flagship virtual sports titles that are transforming the way sports fans engage with their favourite sports, while providing increased revenues and consistent margins for operators.

Itauma said: “I’m delighted to be working with Bet9ja as I prepare for the biggest fight of my career so far. My Nigerian heritage and family have always been a source of pride, and this partnership is a powerful connection to my roots. I look forward to bringing my championship belts back to my father’s homeland.”

Logifuture Head of Content and Social Media Tom Beck said: “Moses Itauma is one of the most exciting young talents in global boxing.

“Moses has spoken about the strength he draws from his Nigerian roots and that makes him a natural fit for Bet9ja. For fans, he represents something special; a proud symbol of Nigerian toughness, talent and ambition on the global stage.

“Supporting his success means a lot to Logifuture and Bet9ja, and even more to our audience. We are looking forward to helping to share his journey with fans by providing exclusive access and behind-the-scenes content as he continues to build his reputation as one of the most explosive young fighters on the planet.”

Ayo Ojuroye, CEO of Bet9ja, said: “We’re incredibly excited to welcome Moses Itauma to the Bet9ja family. Moses embodies the spirit of resilience, power, and relentless pursuit of greatness that we champion. His Nigerian roots and global ambition make him a perfect fit for Bet9ja’s vision of empowering champions and delivering world-class player experiences. Partnering with Logifuture, we continue to elevate the standards of engagement in Nigerian sports.”

Nigeria’s latest sports betting brand, Betcamp, has officially unveiled Nigerian football legend, Samson Siasia, and renowned broadcaster, Guinness World Record holder and media personality, Mighty George, as brand ambassadors.

The unveiling ceremony was held at the company’s Abuja headquarters and marks another major milestone for the fast-rising sports betting platform, which officially went live on May 25, 2026.

The appointments reflect Betcamp’s commitment to partnering with personalities who embody excellence, credibility, resilience and innovation, while strengthening its connection with sports fans and entertainment audiences across Nigeria.

Samson Siasia remains one of the most accomplished figures in Nigerian football history. As a player, he was part of Nigeria’s historic 1994 Africa Cup of Nations-winning squad and represented the country at its first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance in the US.

He later distinguished himself as a coach, leading Nigeria’s Flying Eagles to the FIFA U-20 World Cup Final in 2005, winning Olympic Silver in Beijing 2008 and Olympic Bronze in Rio 2016.

Mighty George is one of Nigeria’s most celebrated broadcast personalities. A multiple award-winning journalist and presenter, he is the current Guinness World Record holder for the Longest Talk Show and the penultimate recipient of the Nigerian Presenter of the Year Award. Through his work in broadcasting, live events and sports media, he has built a reputation as one of the country’s most engaging and influential media figures.

As part of the partnership, Mighty George will serve as the official host of “Inside The Camp,” a new podcast powered by Betcamp. The platform will feature engaging conversations with sports icons, entertainers, business leaders and influential personalities, offering audiences unique insights into their lives, careers and experiences.

Speaking after the unveiling, Siasia expressed his excitement at joining the Betcamp family.

“I am excited about this journey and look forward to the growth and success of the brand. I have had the opportunity to closely observe the vision and commitment of the people behind Betcamp, and I can confidently say this is a brand built on integrity, professionalism and innovation. I am proud to be associated with a platform that is committed to serving sports fans and punters across Nigeria.”

Mighty George also expressed delight at the endorsement and the opportunity to contribute to the growth of the brand.

“I am truly excited to be joining Betcamp at such an important stage of its journey. From my interactions with the team, it is clear that this is a brand driven by innovation, integrity and a genuine passion for sports. I am honoured by the confidence reposed in me and look forward to helping build meaningful connections with sports fans across Nigeria while creating engaging and impactful conversations through Inside The Camp.”

Speaking on behalf of the company, Betcamp Lead Strategist, Mr. Ifiok Albert, described the appointments as a significant step in the company’s growth strategy.

“We are delighted to welcome Samson Siasia and Mighty George to the Betcamp family as Brand Ambassadors. Both individuals represent values that align perfectly with our brand — resilience, excellence, discipline, commitment, professionalism and consistency. Their achievements in their respective fields have earned them credibility and respect, making them ideal partners as we continue to build a trusted and innovative sports betting platform.”

He added that the company remains committed to delivering premium sports betting experiences powered by innovation, transparency and customer satisfaction.

Since officially going live on May 25, 2026, Betcamp has continued to establish its presence within Nigeria’s sports ecosystem through a series of fan engagement initiatives and strategic activations. The brand recently hosted a successful football viewing experience in Abuja on May 30 and is set to continue its nationwide engagement drive with activations across key cities.

As part of its expansion plans, Betcamp will also host a major launch event at its Uyo office this month, bringing together sports enthusiasts, stakeholders, partners and members of the public for a celebration of sports, entertainment and innovation.

With the unveiling of Samson Siasia and Mighty George as Brand Ambassadors, alongside the launch of Inside The Camp, Betcamp is positioning itself as more than a sports betting platform. The company aims to become a leading sports and entertainment brand dedicated to engaging fans, celebrating excellence and creating memorable experiences for Nigerians.
