Rape a whore? Is that what he did? so how many years did he have to serve for that?
Well there was that PLUS kidnapping a child who was critically injured in a car accident (Ike was driving) and I believe that the rape of the prostitute also had another kidnapping charge with it. Ike is not a mentally well person and could have been that way all the time OR it could have been CTE or maybe both.


I think Ike Ibeabuchi is tremendously overrated, he had some good fights and with Tua a great fight, but again other fighters from Nigeria with a similar style have shown glimpses of greatness only for them to wind up being fodder for classier heavyweights.


Imagine if you will Samuel Peter a good quality fighter in his own right getting arrested and having his career end after knocking out Taurus Sykes and he was 24(21 KO)-0-0....people would have been saying the exact same things about Sam Peter as they did about Ike... "He could beat anyone" "He's invincible" "He'd demolish the current heavyweights" etc.


Maybe Ike Ibeabuchi was as good as advertised maybe not....I think the guy paid little to no attention to stopping punches with anything other than his face and eventually that would catch up with him. He was bigger than Tua, he was bigger than Byrd, he beat both of those guys, but he NEVER fought a guy like Holyfield or Lewis who were more complete fighters than Tua or Byrd.
