Heavyweight Kingsley Ibeh has had quite the unconventional journey

Heavyweight Kingsley Ibeh, 14-2-1 (12 KOs), almost found himself fighting Fabio Wardley in the United Kingdom. Instead, his coach ran into passport issues.

Heavyweight Kingsley Ibeh will face Scott Alexander on January 10 at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington, headlining a card that will also feature the pro debut of popular Tacoma-based amateur Dedrick Crocklem.


Caoimhin Agyarko moved down to super-welterweight and extended his unbeaten record to 12 fights as he claimed a landslide ten-round decision over Poland’s Lukasz Maciec on the Chisora-Pulev undercard at the O2 Arena, London.

A brief moment of civility came during fight week for the rematch between Derek Chisora and Kubrat Pulev. Every fight week function has featured the veteran heavyweights going forehead-to-forehead, attempting to physically move each akin to a pair of rams. The pattern ceased Friday, as both calmly stared down the other immediately following their trip to the scales during Friday’s final pre-fight weigh-in at Canary Wharf's East Wintergarden. The bout headlines a DAZN telecast Saturday evening from The O2 Arena in London. Chisora (32-12, 23KOs) arrived on site sporting a mask of recently resigned prime minister Boris Johnson, checking in at a beefy 258 weighed pounds. The former heavyweight title challenger from North London via Mbare, Zimbabwe was more than 12 pounds above his weight of 241 ¾ pounds in a May 2016 12-round split decision loss to Pulev, his lightest for any of his fights in the six years that has since passed.
