Nollywood comic actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, has revealed why he ended his boxing career to become an actor.

In an interview with PUNCH, the Nollywood star disclosed he was once a boxer. He said he quit boxing when a Delta boy battered his face in a championship fight.

He said, ‘’I would have been a boxer. I used to be a boxer. I was doing well until I went for a championship in Delta State.

‘’The boy I fought with was an idiot; he gave me a beating I would never forget. That boy changed my face and made me hate anything that had to do with gloves.

After the fight, I looked in the mirror and I could not even recognise myself. I could see with only one eye for sometime due to the punches he dealt me. That was the incident that made me quit boxing.’’

Your summation is wrong, I believe that the Delta boxer helped in redirecting him to his God given talent..... Acting / comedy.

No wonder why his face is so puffed up

Dude, he is no coward but a wise man in fact, don't you see the way he runs around in his movies? Does he look fit it looks like someone with stamina?

Just imagine Mr Ibu Vs Anthony Joshua... He would have been beaten into a coma.


Acting suits him better abeg.

Even George Foreman repented and became a Born Again Christian immidiately after fighting Mohammed Ali.. A loss may redirect you, doesn't make you a coward

Anyhow you look at it, this "idiot" is funny
