the black europeans appreciation thread

[Hyde]

Now, I haven't found a black Russian but I've found a black Slovakian.

He is mysterious though.



Martin Owono.

If with further digging he turns out to have been born in Slovakia, as a nation of the former soviet union, do I win?

Slovakia weren't in the Soviet Union.

Sparked is attempting to prove you wrong.

Slovakia or Czechoslovakia as it was known before 1992 was a eastern bloc communist state but it was not in the Soviet Union.

google searches have resulted in me finding two martin owono's from Cameroon.

Unless somebody actually knows Martin? lol

Hmm, I could've sworn they were. Thanks though, I did some research and confirmed.

Sparked - If he was born in Slavakia, I'll give you like 7k for the effort.

Damn. I think this may be an impossible task here. Hyde might be right.

You may be right, I'm no historian.

I give in.

One does wonder why a probable Cameroonian would relocate to that boxing hotbed of Slovakia and forge a professional career.

Haha. He wanted to be the greatest black Slovakian based fighter in the world.

Can we really say he didn't accomplish this?

[Roger Mellie]

Can anyone give me some black European fighters that aren't from England?

Sumbu Kalambay. Very good fighter from Italy I think.
