Here is a #Thread of some eye-catching KOs by #Naija Boxers.
First we begin with The President, Ike Ibeabuchi, the first guy to beat and stop Chris Byrd. Very few could match his strength. 20/03/1999, sadly it was Ike's last fight.
@Turki_alalshikh Madrimov vs Bohachuk
Fury vs AJ
Benavidez vs Callum Smith
Shakur vs Tank
Crawford vs Ortiz Jr
Teo vs Haney
Loma vs Tank
Garcia vs Loma
Ajagba vs Bakole
Tszyu vs Ortiz Jr
@TheHeat001 Hats off champ! A warrior is not he who wins all battles but one who isn't afraid of any.
A true warrior you are. Happy retirement champ ๐ช
Deontay Wilder may not have been the best of his generation, but he brought brilliant drama to his era as a unique heavyweight unlike any seen before. If this is indeed the end, boxing will miss him.
Eddie Hearn has said he believes it's "likely" Oleksandr Usyk will still end up vacating/being stripped of his IBF heavyweight world title before the Tyson Fury rematch on Dec 21st, meaning Anthony Joshua would fight the Filip Hrgovic vs Daniel Dubois winner for the vacant belt on Sept 21st at Wembley.

Unprecedented!
10 Nigeria boxers are in finals at the #AfricanGames2023.
That's 10 silver medals guaranteed but we want all 10 gold medals & already there is a walkover GOLD for OJO JOY NENE over Algerian Selmouni Chahira in Women's 57kg category.
This is one of those fights that make no sense on paper but I'd love to see anyway. Sadly, the massive size difference between them makes it unlikely. Maybe they can meet at 140.
