Great African Boxers

Or affectionately known as Uncle Azumah.

 

He is a genuinely Great Man!

 

Howard Eastman
Joshua Clottey
Kassim Ouma
Kofi Jantuah

 

Boza Edwards, so many exciting fights including the 2 legendary brawls against the late Bobby Chacon

 

Great shout.

 

Anyone remember Akeem Anifowoshe aka Kid Akeem? He was a talented prospect but he's mostly known for his great fight with Robert Quiroga but sadly his life was cut short following that fight.

- Jean-Baptiste Mendy (French but he is born in Senegal) so charismatic and beautiful style in the ring.

- the South African king of the Minimumweight Zolani Petelo

- Moruti Mthalane

- Kid Marcel

- Kevin Lerena

- Richard Commey

- Azinga Fuzile

- Nkosinathi Joyi

- Herbert Matovu

- Simpiwe Vetyeka

- Jeremia Nakathila

- Olanrewaju Durodola

- Simpiwe Konkco

- Isaac Dogboe

- Moussa Gholam

- Malik Zinad

- Mohamed Elmaghraby

- Ludumo Lamati

- Uisma Lima

- Zine Eddine Benmakhlouf

 

The bar is set incredibly low with a lot of the names mentioned in this thread.

A lot of these fighters could only get to a very bad level.

Surely you should only mention fighters that managed to at the very least win a world title.

 

Great pick!!
The Road Warrior took them all on and beat them...great underrated fighter!
