Released! Mr. President, Ike Ibeabuchi, 43, Making Heavyweight Comeback in 2016
By Robert Brizel, Head Real Combat Media Boxing Correspondent
New York, NY (December 27th, 2015)– All hail the president. The secret is out! After sixteen long years of incarceration and immigration woes, Ikemefula Charles ‘Ike’ Ibeabuchi was finally released unconditionally from Federal custody last month, and is now a free man at age 43. Ike just let ‘the word’ out. Known as ‘Mr. President’, Ibeabuchi, 20-0 with 15 knockouts, the undefeated onetime top heavyweight contender, will be making a planned comeback in April 2016. It might be on a major televised boxing card. This is much better for Ike’s publicity sake.
Ike Ibeabuchi’s last ring appearance was in March 1999, when he stopped future world heavyweight champion Chris Byrd in the fifth round at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington, after knocking him down. During his incarceration, Ibeabuchi earned two college degrees.
Ike Ibeabuchi has hired Michael Koncz, the personal adviser of Manny Pacquiao, to guide his comeback attempt. Tyson Fury, David Haye, Wladimir Klitschko, Luis Ortiz, Ruslan Chagaev, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, Robert Helenius, and pretty much the entire heavyweight division, better watch out! Mr. President is back.
Muhammad Ali regained the world heavyweight title after many years out, and many years of comeback. Everyone deserves another chance. Ike Ibeabuchi is in good health and good spirits, and a more mature man at this point in the game. The boxing world wishes Ike Ibeabuchi best of success in his incredible comeback attempt, which might be the greatest ever if he makes it, and in the least could bring back to boxing the electric excitement it needs to rejuvenate the sport at a critical time in its promotional history.
Ike missed the Evander Holyfield era, the Iron Mike Tyson era, and missed the Vitali Klitschko and Lennox Lewis era. Having stopped Byrd, who then beat Vitali-and hitting harder than Tyson, who got knocked out by Danny Williams and stopped by Kevin McBride-it’s open season for Ibeabuchi to decimate the heavyweight division on the road to the top if he still has ‘it’. You either have ‘it’, you can find ‘it’, or you don’t. Ike has ‘it’.
