Obakillah: I agree. I find it funny they think heavy weight boxing is the pinnacle of the sport! The most watched fight and with the biggest purse way the Mayweather vs Pacquiao and they are not in the heavy weight class. Nigerians just know about football, I blame the Super Eagles for their ignorance on matters sports.
The idea of creating diffrent weight class is to raise money. It is just buisness. Nothing more. Currently, welterweight is the most popular.
there is also a new one called cruiser weight which has never be won by any africa . The heavyweight is just a weight class recognised by the body sanctioning the title.
What make sense now is called undisputed champion. That is the person who have fought and won in the whole category. Only Michael Tyson might be close to that. I even doubt Muhammad all. Not sure .
Obakillah: You lost in boxing mate, over 4 pages of current facts. Don't be scared of athletics, the All African Games are just around the corner. Then the FINA , Volleyball Championships and so on. Just be prepared to loose gracefully!
when it comes to boxing, Nigeria might be better than kenya absolutely not Ghana. Well. The dude is also ignorance. He actually don't know heavyweight are rated in class.
""Africa has produced 52 individual world champions who have held 75 world titles. This list contains every WBC, WBA (regular and super), WBO, IBF & interim belt winners from Africa since the sanctioning bodies were founded, excluding the pre-WBA era, when it was called the NBA. Eight of these individuals have come from Ghana with notable names being Azumah Nelson and Ike Quartey. The eight Ghanaian world champions have held 13 world titles. Ghana only comes second to South Africa who have produced 29 world champions accounting for 40 world titles""
Problemkid1: Born on August 14, 1929, Tiger was a Nigerian professional boxer who won the world middleweight title when he beat Gene Fullmer in 1962 and the light heavyweight title in 1966 when he dethroned José Torres of Puerto Rico.
Tiger who died in 1971 was an ethnic Igbo and served as a soldier in the Biafran army during the Nigerian Civil War.
The hero himself.
It seems anthony Joshua has achieved a lot more than him by record. Well death should be blame.
forgiveness: Did Azumah win heavyweight championship?
Show me your Azumah record.
they are categories of heavyweight. And azumah has won about two of them.WBC and WBO. And he is the only African who holds the title for three consecutive years and WBC for ten years.
wizzzmike: to my knowledge and research only two African boxer has made it to the hall of fame... azumah Nelson and one Uganda boxer forgotten his name so I don't really think any Nigerian boxer is there
A Nigerian and south African have been nominated too
No Ghanaian has ever won any Heavyweight champion.
You wan compare.
lol....azumah Nelson was a heavyweight champion . Don't you read about him. No Nigerians has gotten such record not even south Africans . Notting to compare dude. The only person close to him die early. That is tiger something. If i can remember.
Azumah was inducted into boxing international hall of fame as far back as 2004..
2018 world super bantamweight champion was even a Ghanaian. Isaac dogbe
Mkenya2019: Kenya had great boxers in 80s and 90s.Robert Wangila is the only boxer in Sub Sahara Africa outside South Africa to win Gold in Olympics.The first African to achieve that feat.None in Nigeria has come close. Kenya boxing was another level until the turn of century when boxing halls were grabbed or let to rot.There have been few bright specks like Bilali,Conjestina and Fatuma. Such a shame now considering 80 and 90s the Nigeria boxers would be knocked senseless by Kenyan boxers mostly from Nairobi Eastland. https ://kenyapage.net/commentary/teams/when-kenyan-boxers-were-kings/
The greatest African boxer of all time . ( azumah Nelson is a Ghanaian) up till date no African boxer has ever achieved his feet.
