the black europeans appreciation thread

[El Jaguar]

Alright folks, we have a winner. El Jaguar gets 10k. Hyde said it was impossible, I begged to differ. I knew it could be done.

Good work.

I didn't knew about that, the first black non-british boxer that came to my mind, was this guy, i have watched some of his pro fights

I'm here because dans said to visit. Good thread.

But since I'm stumped on naming black european boxers, I will leave you with Janet, black european adult film model...

ISMAYL SILLAKH

Damn... well I can only say that I'm wrong, I thought it was impossible but I have been prove wrong.

So he was born and grew up in the Ukraine? just wanna make shure. But it is pretty amazing if it is true, because that means he was born during the time that the Ukraine was in the USSR, which is mind blowing considering he is black.

Haha, I was amazed too man. I couldn't believe it. The guy seems decent too.

Unfortunately there's not too much info on him, but it seems legit from what I looked up.

He was born in Zaporozhye, Ukraine.

"Silakh's mother is Ukranian, father is from Sierra Leone. He was born in Ukraine and never left the country until he started going to boxing tournaments. He went to school there and learned everything he know there. I'd say he's more Ukranian than African, even if his skin is dark"

Look at that. Not only is he from Ukraine, his mother is Ukranian too. So he's legit Ukranian for sure.

Well then he truly is a bonafide Ukrainian... but still damn thats mind blowing. If he came up to me and I didn't knew who he was and he said he was Ukrainian I would have told him to get the **** outta here a black ukrainian? ***** plz...

[Still Pimpin]

Crazy. I can't believe you found one...and he lives in L.A.

I can't imagine what his childhood was like.

Truly is incredible given the barriers as Hyde says. I wonder if he has an accent like a Ukranian?

I'm still looking for a black Irish fighter.

From the same thread in that forum esb

Would you consider that Ismail Sillakh(sp) guy to be Ukranian? His father is from Sierra Leon. He is about as Ukranian as Herbie Hide is English.

Sillahk? I had the pleasure to watch his last outing to a ring live in Germany's capital Berlin. Sillakh fought on the undercard of Vitaly vs Sam Peter.
Ukranian? Tough question.

"I dont know. Malik Dziarra is a German based Belarussian whose father stems from Africa as well. Is Malik Dziarra Belarussian??
Really tough question! He grew up in Belarus,he speaks Russian(+Belarussian?),speaks German with a Russian accent,got his education there,and so on.
Is he Belarussian? Honestly,I dont know. He is probably more Belarussian than African.Thats for sure!
Most Belarussians probably dont consider him to be Belarussian,violent ******!
You must understand that Belarus and to a lesser extent Ukraine are still closed societies.It is beyond the understanding of an odinary person there to think like most westerns do.
Look,ask someone from China whether he considers a mulatto of chinese and african blood to be chinese or not!
He may speak Chinese fluently,have chinese blood in his body,and he is as much chinese inside his brain as any other chinese.Nevertheless,you probably know the answer of your own question. The situation is a little bit similar both in Belarus and Ukraine."

There are a lot of people of mixed blood in the countries of the former soviet union,but black blood is a different matter.
By the way you should read a little bit about Pushkin!"
