One thing you have to keep up with is social media Ike. Upload a lot. Instagram, here, facebook. It's so important in this era to stay in the mindspace these days as people are so inundated with media they forget about things from last week let alone 20 years ago. It's sad but true.
Wow, what a pleasant surprise! I'm still watching the 1997 epic bout vs Tua. Such a brilliant performance by you in all aspects. Really kept to your game plan. Also, that commentator, John Scully was phenomenal behind the mic. He really nailed your real time performance and skills. Looking forward to seeing how your return progresses.
Ibeabuchi the President, Love and Respect from Oceania. Come back and show us how real man fight, the fighters of today Really believe the hype and soft as girls.
@ibeabuchiikemefula777 put a video put reaching out to the Riyadh Prince asking him to put a contract up for you to fight David Tua, Briggs , Iron Mike and then AJ don't worry about USA ots all happening in Riyadh get to Riyad first then once you become famous again USA doors will open with the help of the prince and promoters
As a big fan of boxing I did my history research and I watched your videos Ike you are truly a warrior and I’m saddened about what happened you would have dominated that’s for sure. I want you to take it to social media the boxing blogs. And I believe you will get your shot again.
Strong man 💥 if u had the chance u would have been the champion mr Ike. I am terrified looking at your boxing highlights. God bless and take care mr president 👍🏽 👊🏽 from 🇮🇳
Ike , your time as a boxer might have passed, see if you can transfer your skills and experience to younger Nigerian talents! Time waits for no man!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
@@ibeabuchiikemefula777 I suppose your bravado is commendable! And I can hold my head up high to say that I have watched each and every of Ibeabuchi fights severally, including the fantastic bout with David Tua!! The Ibeabuchi-Tua fight is a constant go to for the sheer tenacity and intensity of it! Year after year!! Undefeated yes, and obviously unbowed too! But that was then !!! And regardless of what the consequences that led to the incarceration was, 20 years is a long time to be in and out of prison! 25 years is even a longer time to have not fought in a boxing match! Time, they say, is a healer, because it makes a man recover from his ailments....but time is also a thief, because it robs man of his years!!! At 51, it is almost foolhardy (for fear of being perceived as rude) to want to fight boxers in their 30's and at the peak of their boxing careers! In fact, in the time Ike Ibeabuchi was incarcerated, a generation gap, has produced physically taller and stronger boxers than the Chris Byrd's and the David Tua's of 25 and 27 years ago! Then there is also the case of issuance of a much needed boxing licence! Would the US find favour with an ex-convict??? The vast boxing experience accumulated, I believe, would be better served training a new generation of Nigerian pugilists! Emmanuel Steward, Naseeb Richardson, Freddie Roach , Ronnie Shields and Angelo Dundee who were/are all trainers , are as well known and well regarded as any boxer in the world of boxing!! Right now, the story of being undefeated in the ring, is so sweet and so strong, that it almost supersedes the "dubious" prison sentence! A defeat now would sour the beautiful story, not to mention the genuine concern by fans for the health of the once fearsome Ike "the President" Ibeabuchi!!! I Rest My Case!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
Is there any talks of getting a professional fight in the near future? Would love to see you back in the ring I think you knocking out any current heavyweight
There is a lot of low level fighters and they are tough they want the same dream you want. Take one day at a time get your breathing right first when you train you are gasping for air. Get that or body trimmer
Hey IKE I’m in a wheelchair I shadow box everyday I have a special flat chair I put in the work myself being in a chair is tough you eat you want to burn calories
Your going to have to fight current guys to get on peoples radar again. This message is from a fan from when you were fighting tua. Like to see you go after the WBA regular strap first. Hopefully you can make connections with saudi, they make things happen. All the very best President. Will you come back with a new name or is it still president?
Just left Abuja, would have come see you ike, been so sad they never allowed you to fight again for something now, they already knew you were gonna be WORLD CHAMP!.. BEST NIGERIAN/AFRICAN AMERICAN BOXER TO EVER lace a pair of boxing glooves. PERIOD!
@@ibeabuchiikemefula777 I’m 52 it’s not easy like your being 23 yrs of age your metabolism changes as you get older but just focus on cardio no more weights that gets you bulked up and slow just worry about cardio eat less. The protein drinks mess up your digestive system
@@ibeabuchiikemefula777 I believe in you IKE just stay out of trouble Obey the law and fight to give yourself a good life, you have suffer greatly. Listen to your trainer & manager make a lot of money you deserve the richness of life God Bless you and I will be waiting to see you fight.
President, the elections are over and you are not re-chosen. In all fairness, i think you would not stand 30 seconds in the ring. Maybe you saw what happened to Evander.
Evander Holyfield was almost 60. In contrast, Ike is 50 years old and in excellent physical condition. I believe he could put up a competitive fight against heavyweights such as Deontay Wilder, Dillian Whyte, or Derek Chisora. If you watch Wilder's last performance, you'll notice he backed away from Parker and seemed quite slow at the age of 38.
@@Joe-ry2xq Man, boxing is politics. As far as i think they ruined this man's carreer because that time the ones who held the belts were scared to face Ike. I want also that Ike will get a shot. BUT i think than he has to change strategy. Putting some videos recorded with VHS quality will i think not do it.
Big man, your time is gone and No disrespect. You are better off being a coach rather than embarrassing yourself because of pay day please respect your legacy. Remember the politics in Boxing and especially your age now? Stop it please 🙏🏾.
Have you seen the Heavies? Joshua is afraid to get hit, Fury is a fat slob, Wilder is so shot he looks like he is punching underwater. Ike at 50 is in way better shape than most of the guys out there. Even now, I think he can get some wins.
@@TRONMAGNUM2099 I honestly think it all boils down to what speed is left and still being able to let his hands go the way he did. If he's even 70% as active as he was just on boxing iq he should never get beaten up.
Ike ibeabuchi, has the oldest Heavyweight Champion of the World would be great. 🥊💯👍✊👊
Yeah, it will be a wonderful thing to accomplish. Thanks and God Bless🙏

He"ll smash Tua again and i don't think Tua really wants to fight him again even if he is given millions. I know the Polynesian psyche.
