An Anne Arundel County man was sentenced to life in prison for the 2024 murder of a rising boxer.

Nicholas Francis Giroux, 37, of Odenton, was sentenced to life plus 20 years for first-degree murder in the death of 27-year-old Isaiah Olugbemi.

Giroux pleaded guilty to murder on February 28, 2025.

"Mr. Olugbemi was a father and rising star in amateur boxing," said Anne Arundel County State's Attorney Anne Colt Leitess. "This was a cruel and senseless murder that took the life of someone with great promise." Leitess added, "the callousness and lack of remorse on the part of this Defendant is really disturbing. He deserves this sentence. And to the family and friends of Mr. Olugbemi, I hope that today provides some sense of justice for this terrible ordeal."
