Nicholas Francis Giroux, 37, of Odenton in Maryland has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the 2024 murder of a Nigerian boxer, 27-year-old Isaiah Olugbemi.
Shortly after an altercation between Giroux and Olugbemi last year, Giroux shot the rising boxer numerous times with a firearm. In February 2025, the killer confessed to the crime.
Giroux bagged life in prison in addition to 20 years for first-degree murder of Olugbemi. Anne Arundel County State's Attorney Anne Colt Leitess agreed with the sentence meted out to Giroux, saying he was callous and devilish.
Olugbemi won the National Golden Gloves Championship in Washington, D.C., and several amateur fights and would have gone fully professional in January 2025 if he hadn't been killed.
