Ike Ibeabuchi (left) and David Tua (right) put on perhaps the best heavyweight fight of the decade, on June 7, 1997, at the Arco Arena in Sacramento, California.
Ibeabuchi picked up a unanimous decision win in a non-stop action-packed slugfest from start to finish.
Ibeabuchi was 16-0 with 12 knockouts, and Tua was 27-0 with 23 knockouts with Tua the betting favorite.
Ibeabuchi landed 332 of 975 punches, and Tua landed 282 of 755 punches.
They combined to throw 1,730 punches, which set the CompuBox record for punches thrown in a heavyweight fight.
Ibeabuchi also set the individual record for punches thrown by a heavyweight.
It is pretty amazing that neither guy got knocked down, or even in any serious trouble, during this unforgettable fight.
After the fight, Ibeabuchi complained of a terrible headache and was taken to a hospital. He underwent several tests, including an MRI, but nothing abnormal was found. After being released from the hospital, Ibeabuchi began to say that he was being plagued by demons and evil spirits. He would TKO Chris Byrd in five rounds, in his next fight, and then be plagued with legal and mental health issues for years.

🇦🇺Andrew Moloney told that world that his "dream is not for sale" after rejecting a significant offer to step aside from his mandated title shot

Moloney took the short end of the money, only being paid $47,250 for the fight after purses bids. Now he's Champion of the World!
