For the first time since he was conditionally released from the U.S prison, erstwhile world boxing heavyweight contender, Ikemefuna Ibeabuchi, said some forces are bent on keeping him locked up forever.
The world could not ignore the talented young man who insisted the western media and boxing world should call him by his local name Ibeabuchi rather than the easily pronounced Ike. “The heavyweight average is around 50. Ibeabuchi won a unanimous 12-round decision over Tua with scores of 117-111, 116-113, and 115-114. The fight established Ibeabuchi as the WBC international heavyweight title holder and top contender for world titles.”
Ibeabuchi was famous. He had raked in millions of dollars in wins, taken his first title and boxing buffs are tipping him to unify the heavyweight titles. First, he turned down $700,000 to fight fringe contender Jeremy Williams and $1 million for a showdown with the undefeated Michael Grant.Few months after beating Byrd to submission, he was handed the beating of his life. He landed in jail for assaulting a stripper.
The WBC champion was labelled ‘crazy and unstable’ in addition to ‘dangerous’ popularised by The Ring magazine and placed under house arrest. Brizel followed up from here:“It appears Ibeabuchi was unaware of any requirements regarding the first conviction at the time he was released from immigration holding in 2016. According to Arizona, ICE has a detainer on Ibeabuchi issued on 16th February 2018, which may relate to his United States citizenship application status after Ike was issued a green card in 2016.
“As soon as we realised he is alive and where he was being held, we swung into action to let the whole world know the injustice against our brother and uncle,” Uzo said.Meanwhile, Ibeabuchi has carefully dissected his trial and travail from prison to detention while responding to The Nation enquiries.
He said: “After the judgment in my favour in the Nevada State Supreme Court was received and abandoned, from 2007 to 2014, I was held in Ely State Maximum Security Prison in administrative segregation. I was allowed to train in Lovelock, High Desert and Carson City, but in Ely I was not allowed to train.”
