Jussie Smollett is a guilty man, but the only thing Bola Osundairo is guilty of is having hot hands … as he demonstrated in the boxing ring just as the actor’s fate was sealed.
Bola’s been fighting for well over a year now, and it just so happened he had a match Thursday night in Louisiana while a jury found Jussie guilty on 5 of 6 felony charges for falsely reporting a hate crime.

As you can see from our video, Osundairo was dominant, winning a unanimous decision against his opponent Ezri Turner. The fight was part of the 2021 USA Boxing National Championships … Bola won his previous contest as well.

Minutes after the jury read its verdict, Bola’s brother, Ola, shared a few words with reporters outside the courthouse … but he didn’t talk about the case, just shouted out his brother’s fight and exclaimed “Nigerian lives matter!”
TMZ broke the story, Bola and Jussie were friends — even hitting clubs together — in the weeks leading up to the staged attack. Ola and Bola maintained from the beginning that Smollett had paid them for the hoax because he wanted press.
Lucky for Bola, it looks like he’s already got a career to fall back on after the drama … as for Jussie, that remains to be seen.
