    Ike's back

    On the eve of the election, it has been revealed that “The President” will return to action 25 years on from his last fight. Nigerian Ike Ibeabuchi was a 1990s heavyweight contender who was 20-0 (15 KOs) having defeated David Tua and Chris Byrd.


    Thoughts?

    Who's necks?

    Charr? Oquendo?

      If he hits AJ with that bolo punch which made Byrd drool all over the place, he might finish him.

              A while back I used to troll around, jokingly saying that an over-50 Tyson would still be enough to defeat Deontay Wilder.

              Having seen Wilder's last fights, I'm now thinking that it could not be a joke after all.

                Had he not got locked back up after getting out after his 1st stint, I'd be excited af. Saw him vs Tua back in the day. Was a hs grad gift from my uncle. Best fight I've ever seen/been to

                  Yes, what a shame that Ibeabuchi spent his best year behind bars. He seemed like champion material back in the day.

                    I thought the whole reason he went crazy and did time was because he got his brains scrambled in the ring with a vicious war with Tua .

                    I wish someone would talk him out of this. He can't be making that much for this fightl
