Your favorite African fighters

Flash, not to be a smart a**, but Hope was from Antigua.

 

Boza

my old handle on here was Boza81

The fight that got me really hooked on becoming a boxing junkie was Boza v. Chacon II

The first letter to World Boxing I got published was about Boza.

 

There was also an African named George Foreman. I think he went like 0-6, haha.

 

George Foreman, the 1980s heavyweight from Zimbabwe, finished 1-9-1. He lost three times to Black Tiger, twice to Captain Cleopas Marvel and to Proud Kilimanjaro.

Azumah Nelson I was always in two minds about. Found him very entertaining as being a tanky high quality offensive force, so not much issue with the fighter himself, but thought he was overhyped as far as his overall skillset went, so the "professor" thing was a bit irritating at times. You don't get to call yourself that just because you need a rematch to figure out and put some clear air between you and many of the better fighters you fought!

 

The 1980s South African heavyweight names make Thai fighters with sponsor names like 3KBatteryGym green with envy.
