I was looking up Ike Ibeabuchi on Wikipedia, and I noticed something odd.

Ike Ibeabuchi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Ikemefula Ibeabuchi was born on February 2, 1973 in Isuochi, Nigeria, and is a former heavyweight boxing contender. Also known as "The President", Ike became a professional boxer in 1994 and quickly made a name for himself with his devastating power and will. Touted by many as the next Mike Tyson, Ike knocked 15 of his first 20 opponents out. His most memorable fight may be an outstanding brawl with David Tua in June 1997, where both fighters combined for 1730 punches thrown; an HBO record for a heavyweight fight. Ike won the fight by unanimous decision.

His career culminated with a crushing knockout of Chris Byrd, and as quickly as he rose, he fell from the boxing scene. Ike's fight with Bryd in 1999 was to be his last as a professional. Ibeabuchi's career was cut short in 2001 when he was convicted of raping an exotic dancer and was sentenced 5 to 30 years in prison at the Lovelock Correctional Center in Nevada. Ibeabuchi had barricaded himself and the woman in a hotel room, and the police needed to use tear gas to subdue him [1]. He was denied parole in August 2004 and will not be eligible for another hearing until August 2007 [2].

I wonder if he is going to get out anytime soon.The last interview i read with him he was totally out there talking all kinds of nutty shit.

[PH|LLA]

considering there are only 2 people in that category, its not so bad

[achillesthegreat]

Be interesting to see if he could come back at 34. He is a headcase though.

[Knob McDude]

Have you seen a picture of him lately?

He has ballooned up to at least 300+ lbs.

What's odd about it? Another squandered career from a piece of garbage human.

Flabby, you should banned for that pic. I gotta eat lunch soon.

Maybe he suffered some brain trama in the Tua fight. Tua is a vicious puncher and he caught Ike with some bombs. They both had great chins.

Man you are so disgusting!! Remove this avatar man!!! :-( :pukke

Flabby - is that a photo of Ike's prison wife?

Yeah, there was definitely something crazy about Ike Ibeabuchi. Was he schizo, brain damaged, under the influence of drugs, the product of a difficult childhood or just born mad?

I'd ask the same questions about Mike Tyson. Both wasted their talent and boxing careers, but at least Mike made it to the top before self destructing.

Ike's mental instability combined with his inhuman punch output and superhuman physique against Tua makes me again question whether he was 'on' something. Most likely.

And unlike other fighters who might have been on something similar (Holyfield, RJJ etc.), he had the predisposition to turn into a fruitloop - and did.

Just a theory - no proof that any recent boxer has been on 'juice'. Well, except James Toney that is.

I WAS going to eat lunch soon, but that pic made me lose my appetite.

Back on topic, I will always wonder what Ike could have been.

[Beebs]

Ike has been diagnosed with that same mental illness that Raider defensive lineman had.....I forget what it is called. But they have all kinds of mood swings due to chemical imbalances.

ike would never take his medication the way he was suppose to and would issues of depression and erradic behavior.

And currently he is not getting the proper care in prison. But that is the case for THE VAST MAJORITY of prison inmates. As many are suffering from forms of mental illness.

Mental illness is still one of the most stygmatized, misunderstood human conditions. As people look ok so everyone assumes they are. Most people don't understand it and that makes it very difficult for them SYMPATHIZE with those suffering from it.

Bi-Polar I believe.
