"You are an old man!" Afinni shouts at Ibeabuchi during presser

52 year old Ibeabuchi's opponent Idris Afinni makes a remark during a press conference in Surulere promoting the fight, that Ibeabuchi is "...is an old man!", and later in a video adds that Ibeabuchi is "old enough to be my father" and he will destroy his older opponent. Afinni also comments he is "no David Tua" in reference to the 12-round war between Ibeabuchi and Tua, and The President responded that Tua would have killed and destroyed him in his prime.
However just before the antics at the presser Ibeabuchi says he is currently lighter than he was during his last fight against Chris Byrd and is ready for the fight, he runs 10-15 miles and does 4 hours of training a day, then proceeds to call out Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight championship and requests his homeland of Nigeria to support him in his cause to return to heavyweight greatness, to be part of his "accolades", his notable victories.

Ibeabuchi would've been 12 when he was born, wouldn't even be old enough to be his dad, what a stupid comment

 

Even someone like John Ruiz would have taken Aifnni out in the same time Tua knocked him out
