Ike Ibeabuchi Plans Boxing Comeback at 52

Nigerian boxing legend Ike Ibeabuchi has confirmed he is planning a return to professional boxing at the age of 52, more than 25 years after his last fight, according to reports.

The former heavyweight contender, Ibeawuchi who compiled an impressive 20-0 record with 15 knockouts between 1994 and 1999, told our correspondent that age would not be a barrier to his championship ambitions.

The Nigerian, known as “The President” during the latter part of his career, was ranked as the world’s eighth-best heavyweight by BoxRec in 1997 and 1998, dropping to 10th in 1999 before his career was derailed by legal troubles.
