Ike Ibeabuchi is set to return to the ring this weekend and will put his undefeated professional boxing record on the line over a quarter of a century after his last bout. The prizefight goes down in Lagos, Nigeria with the 20-0 combatant last competing before the new millennium.
The over two decade hiatus for ‘The President’ is at least in part tied to an arrest which led to a conviction centred on battery with intent to commit a crime as well as attempted sexual assault. The jail term wrapped up in 2015 but the pugilist would violate his probation and then had to serve another four year prison term.
