    Doubt many will have seen this but it's worth a watch.

    Isaya Ikhoni was a Kenyan amateur standout who began his professional career at the Yonekura Gym in Japan in the early 1980's. Here he is against Hiroshi Osumi, a big punching Japanese fighter.

    Enjoy!

    Still wondering how the hell he got up from the first knockdown. It looked like fight over. Boxing is awesome.

    Shame Ikhoni retired when he did. He was very close to a world title fight, then CT scan made him retire. He now back in Kenya and doing things for boxing there.
