If Adarabioyo can be note consistent, I see him in the SE soon. Our current defenders are inconsistent and average at best

Lol

But the Adarabioyo is not any better than what we have nah

U people were talking about AJ all through thus weekend but you forgot about our very own history maker former undisputed the only nightmare Samuel Peters. He fought over the weekend representing our flag.

Samuel Peter is a shadow of his former self. He is old now.

Other Nigerian boxers to look out for, Lawrence Okolie, He will be challenging for the World Cruiserweight championship in his next fight.

Andrew Omotunde Tabiti, another top Cruiserweight, lost his last fight for the world Cruiserweight title. Helped AJ prepare for Ruiz.

Joe Joyce, his mum is an Igbo woman. He is a heavyweight. Unbeaten and was a top amateur.

Efe Ajagba, Heavyweight, still a prospect.

Andrew Tabiti with AJ,

Lawrence Okolie: cruiserweight with 14 fights and 14 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. 11 of his 14 wins coming by way of KO

He is big. 6'5 to be precise. I expect him to step up to the super heavyweight division in the next few years. If a 6'3 Oleksandar Usyk (cruiserweight champ from Ukraine) can do it, so can he.

Okolie is a big cruiserweight. He will eventually move up but he might not do so well in the heavyweight division.

Andrew Omotunde Tabiti

Also a cruiserweight with 18 bouts to his credit: 17 wins, 1 loss and 0 draws. 13 of those 17 wins came by way of KO. He 6'0 in height. His loss to Yuniel Dorticos (for the vacant IBF cruiserweight title) came by way of KO in the 10th round.

Hopefully, he bounces back better and stronger

Why?

His size helps him a lot in the Cruiserweight division. He is usually bigger than his opponents. When he moves up, He will face guys that are bigger than him or around the same size.

I do not think his skill level is that great yet.

You have a point. But the truth is, few boxers at heavyweight like AJ, Fury and Oleksandar Usyk have skill level. The majority are just pure brawlers and heart (with granite chin)

Know of Izu Ugonoh? Was disappointed with his loss to Dominic brazeale. Izu had him on the ropes and rushed for the KO but Dominic withstood all his punches and poor Izu ran out of gas and got KO'ed in the 4th round (I think)

Well, it takes skill to brawl. Okolie has some skill too but he will need to develop more to compete with heavyweights.

I remember that fight, very entertaining. Izu rushed in and got himself KOed. I think he is a good fighter. He has gone under the radar since that loss.

He lost again to a fellow Polish by KO. Thus he has 12 wins from 14 with 2 losses all by way of KO

In heavyweight boxing the right punch will get you knocked out. This is why nobody can truly dominate the division.

True, but a fighter can be dominant even if he takes losses

Lennox Lewis was dominant , beat all comers. And beat everyone that beat him.

He will warm the bench in either club. He needs to work on his goal scoring form at Brugge.

Yea, I said this on an earlier thread

Efe is big and strong and punches hard too

He has good reach as well and seems smart in the ring.

I want him to fight Dubois. That's another upcoming talent. Legend has it that he beat AJ in sparring
