Okorodudu died at a private hospital in Lawanson, Surulere Lagos on Wednesday night after battling with foot ulcer that left him bedridden for weeks.
Reports say the Olympian was due for the amputation of his leg on Friday, before he died last night.
Both his wife, Adenike, and the Secretary-General, Nigeria Boxing Board of Control and the President, West Africa Boxing Union, Remi Aboderin, reportedly confirmed the death.
Okorodudu’s health predicament began in 2020 after he was diagnosed with foot ulcer and suffered a stroke.
Okorodudu represented Nigeria at the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games, where he competed in the middleweight category.
He was aged 64.
