Is Ike Ibeabuchi close to getting out of Prison???and can he be the savior

Any latest news on Ike its been 6 years since we have seen the Juggernaut I read he is still keeping in excellent shape and hasnt slowed down in his work ethic…Can he still save the Heavyweight Division???

how old will he be now? if he’s young for a heavy… possibly but 6 years is a long time no matter how old you are.

I’d like to see… :wink:

Any one know if he’s boxed in prison?

I believe he is 31 or 32 right now

I read somewhere he’s up for parole in 2007. He didn’t get the last one because apparently he’s not been exactly a model prisoner, I’m guessing that means fighting and probably drugs too, seeing as that’s most common in prison.

He’s not coming back, he’s been away waaaaaay too long to have any impact.

Wlad is the champ, Wlad will beat anyone out there right now

he was a good fighter before going inside, but a dbout he’'ll make a succeful comeback

I have heard of this guy before but I can’t really put the name to a face. Can someone post a pic of him?

His KO of Byrd was vicious! But I think that KO really got him overrated

Looks like he has been training with James Toney, Danny Williams, Kirk Johnson, and Butterbean (that means he’s very fat)

Thats funny man. Thanks for posting the pic I do remember this guy now heres a cool click for ya :coolclick:

How old is that picture??? I mean dude, alot of these guys get soft, really soft depending on activity level but hey if he pays his debt to society and still has youth on his side he has a shot at this piss poor heavweight crop..

The “savior of the heavy division” cliche is played out. There are enough talented guys in the division. I think that soon we will be rid of some of the trash that has been lingering around (protected by promoters) and then the “traffic jam” will clear.

The problem with the heavy division is that there is NO WEIGHT LIMIT and this means that some of the unprofessional unmotivated fighters will often get lazy and not want to train hard because they don’t have to make weight.

The question is IF he comes back,does he just march through everyone,knocking them out? I’d looove see that! No mercy!

No I don’t think so, last I heard and I think it was on Friday nite fights, was that he was close to 400 ibs, and he was on thorzine or something, it a shame cause he was IMO destined to be the next big thing in the heavyweight division, Lewis and Holyfield should thank there lucky stars.

He has certainly been bashed around the ring in prison. :wink:

That’s the third time I have cracked that gag, in different prison-related circumstances. … and I’m darn well going to keep doing it until someone at least titters. ???

Man no shit400lbs huh? That sucks I must have been reading old info…He was supposed to have Wrote 2 books working out like a champ,and furthered his education…What a shame

“His 12 round defeat of then-undefeated, highly-touted David Tua in 1997 set the record for most punches thrown in a heavyweight bout, 1,750, the majority, 975, thrown by Ike”

Not to be snubbed… :wink:

Ike does come up for air in 2007…but don’t expect him to make it out of the water.

He’s actually been a model prisoner & he’s also doing a lot of good things in prison last I heard. Also…he aint close to 400lbs…he was like 10-15lbs above his fighting weight.

He’s been denied paroll due to the facts of what he did prior to the sentancing & also his mental capacity.

As soon as Ike get’s out here…his ass get’s deported back to Nigeria for what he did to his girl friend’s little boy.

Ike’s a nut job…but he was a pretty fun fighter to watch & he’d rip of the divsion if he had gotten out the first time…but I’d think that he’s just been away way too long.

Send him to us in Britain, we never deport dangerous foreign nationals. He can have a house, free healthcare and a life on benefits. Put him on a 'plane and it will be an added bonus to him if he hijacks it.
