    How did Ike Quartey fade away so quickly?

    He was obviously an amazing fighter but he only really had a few big fights.

    He got rich from the vargas and oscar fights,, then retired to africa and lived like a king,,

    Cameback a few years later, and had some success and landed big fights with forrest, which i thought ike got robbed in, and then fought winky and took a legit loss,, then retired again with a bunch of money

    He doesnt need to fight, he is set for life and thats why you dont see him anymore

      This is great news if true... Hopefully he's smart and can make it last a lifetime.
