New Nigerian Heavyweight

That Nigerian KO artist on the card Sat reminded me of another Nigerian HW early in his career Ike Ibeabuchi. Ronnie Shields needs to take good care of him

 

His name?

 

I didn't catch it I just saw him blitz his opponent in 35 sec Ronnie Shields is training him

 

Efe Ajagba

 

Thanks

 

Just like Ike when he first came to Texas with Curtis Cokes. I hope Efe has better luck with his career than Ike did. Curtis transformed him from a crude brawler to a grea6 boxer puncher. If only he hadn't called that hooker in Vegas

 

He does look promising. I'll be following him.

 

"Nightmare" in the middle most likely.

 

His skills look promising & Shields is a good guy to bring him on carefully. Just hope he has nothing to do with the sharks like ROC nation & rebuffs all narrative from Dontae's & the usual suspects etc & he should go far.

 

How tall is this guy. He should call out Femi to fight for the undisputed Nigerian prince championship.

 

He's 6'5 according to box rec, usually about 235lbs. Looks promising but still very early, he seems to have the size, power and offensive capabilities to be a future contender but it's still very early. Need to see him against better comp to see what his defence and chin are like.

I'd put him in the same bracket as Dubois, Hrgovic etc, young prospects worth keeping and eye on and who in 3-4 years could be challenging whoever is on top. Or they might get found out before then.

 

looks like a big powerful fighter.

i was thinking more of a sam peters mold.

 

What do Nigerians eat that gives them that kind of power?

 

Very big athletic but raw. He certainly looks the part of
a destroyer though. A bit Duncan Dokiwari-esque to me.....
