- Welcome back to Boxing After Dark! Tonight, we're taking a trip down memory lane to the year 1999. Ike Ibeabuchi emerges as one of the rising stars in the heavyweight division. Frequently likened to Tyson, the time has come for him to validate those comparisons. Meanwhile, Chris Byrd poses a formidable challenge with his elusive and slick movements, earning him a reputation as a boxer no one dares to confront. Up to this moment, Byrd remains unbeaten.

"In trouble with the law, that took him out of commission for 15 years". WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE?? Robbed of his prime? Obviously he was not a victim. His problems were obviously self inflicted.
He was a nut job and should never had been given a license
Ike is a Menace to society, TO THIS DAY!
A criminal pos
He looks like Jamel Lomp.
A guy in The Netherlands who stabbed Romanian Antoneta to death. A woman who worked in a supermarket .
He wanted to take 'revenge'on the supermarket chain Albert Heijn ,because of earlier incidents in other supermarkets of Albert Heijn.
A complete dangerous lunatic. The state was lacking in putting that man in a mental institution.
Many crooks, are just mental cases.
Yup.
Hell yeah. Wish he could have fought from 99 on though

Aye...in a perfect world, Ike might have shown us all how special he was but unfortunately, being unsound of mind, its a GOOD thing that he wasn't tolerated any longer than he was.
Ike, Bowe, Morrison, the 90s was littered with amazing heavyweights that never truly realised their potential.
Morrison definitely never reached his full potential.
Bowe knew what he had he just didn't defend his title against the one man who meant the most in his career and that was Lennox. His legacy now has been forever tainted because of that fight not taking place and now Lennox calls him Chicken Bowe for throwing the belt in the trash can.😳
90s, the PED era
@@asmrnaturecat984 Ironically that's more true now than even back in the 90s.
Tony Tucker , Ray Mercer , Oliver mc Call , Buster Douglas ,Frank Bruno , donovan ruddock , ike , shannon briggs ,Tyrell Biggs , Birbeck , soo many good boxers . I didnt even name em all , theres more
one of the biggest what ifs in boxing! No doubt.
Dude was so powerful and like a brute silver back gorilla on Byrd
Aye...to bad his mentality took himself out of the game.
He could have been a world champion had he just not been so F'kn crazy and a danger to everyone around him.
Tua gave him CTE
Cris Byrd thought he was roy jones 😂
nah roy wouldn't have been stupid enough to fight inside against someone with power like that😂
Roy Jones would of never fought someone like Ike in the first place.
@@J.Crooner first of all Roy wasn’t a natural heavyweight second of all I was talking bout fight style Roy wave was going on at that time but if your attempting to make Roy a lesser fighter than cris Byrd you failed
@@killerman9309I know what you meant and of course Roy Jones was a much better technician than Byrd. Roy's only issue is that he's not equipped to take a serious punch that's his only weakness.
@@J.Crooner he just didn’t have the weight even though he won the heavyweight title but if Ike was still fighting I don’t think Roy would have ducked him because Ike would have been older around the time Roy moved to heavy weight maybee he gets slept but Roy is a warrior
Rape and battery banned him from boxing. State facts please.
Ike stops Byrd in 5KO.
Byrd makes Vitali quite after 9TKO.
Byrd loses to Wladimir after 12UD.
Wladimir stops Byrd in 7TKO.
Lewis had the UNITED Kingdom.
Klitschko had Ukraine and Germany.
Ike didn't have a country backing him.
He beat two undefeated prospects and didn't get a title shot.
Shannon loses to Darroll Wilson and gets a shot at Foreman linear championship.
Shannon loses to Foreman but Shannon still gets the decision. After the Foreman fight Shannon gets a shot at Lennox.
Ike not being mentally sound...is the reason Ike never got a shot at the champ.
His mental instability was obvious to anyone paying attention.
Kidnapping then attempted murder of the kid in a car and he fights a year later? The kid got paralyzed for life they should have given him at least 20 years hard time.
Oh shut up... IKE is KING.
@@karmone11Jesus is the king 👑 of all kings
@@active.7universal Jesus I can't see. IKE is right there in Front of me 😅.
@@karmone11 can you see what you breathe every second of the day?
@@active.7universal Yes when it's cold .
One of my favourite channels on CZcams. Always a class video 👊 thank you for your service 💪
and thank you for the early comment. the first few always mean the most to me and help out a lot!
my pleasure :)@@BoxingAfterDark
Byrd was doing pretty good, until he zigged when he should have zagged...
LoL...yup.
That actually originally comes from one of Joe Louis' opponents that he defeated.
:)
byrd did make him miss quite a bit.
😳The only thing Byrd was missing was his right jaw mixed with drooling saliva after his fight with the president and then made excuses for why the fight was stopped.🤕
In that clip at the beginning bruno is on about gerald mcclelland
😂
Yep and Joe Rogan talking about tyson😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
There is absolutely no doubt that he would've been a formidable world champion. He had speed, power, durability and stamina. What a wasted talent.
Bryd was a silver medalist not bronze..... And tua was never underrated
He was a combination between Mike and evander
It was attitude that ruined the life and career of a man whom many believed should have been the best heavyweight to come from Africa.
Ibeabuchi had Byrd dribbling after that combo I was cracking up 🤣
I followed him from day 1...nobody ever beat him....and even today....
No one wants to try...trust me..!!..
He will absolutely destroy..wilder..
.tomato can fury...and everyone else.....if he promises to throw a fight at some point...they may let him fight again
Ike looks fantastic for his age and wants to fight. The problem is that he can't really travel anywhere due to visa issues which is a terrible injustice in my opinion. Hopefully we get to see him back in the ring at least one more time. He was robbed of his prime. Ike vs Deontay Wilder would be an excellent fight or him vs Joshua. To see him swapping hard power shots with a top flight opponent one more time would be a dream come true.
He is 51 yrs old right now, I doubt he would get a fight against a top opponent if he did make a comeback...
No stupid….he robbed a child of his life by Paralyzing him!!
Ike absolutely was NOT robbed of his prime.
He did that to himself.
Ike was a true talent...he simply was just...well, not mentally balanced.
Very sad story.
Ike had the talent, had the potential.. too bad he's a nutcase.
@@VaderPopsVicodin10
Agreed...there is ZERO reason that Ike should be allowed to fight. The man is unbalanced mentally with a History to show it.
@anonymoususer3099...Ike was NOT robbed...he had to pay for the crimes he committed.
The dude DESTROYED the life of his then girlfriends son by having a high speed car crash that ended up crippling that kid for life.
You honestly think he deserves another chance after CONTINUALLY showing such poor decision making and being a threat to others around him?
I feel very bad for the guy but the "president" isn't fit for boxing or being even in the public eye due to his mental issues.
Didn't see anyone get banned from boxing.
To surpass all others to reach the epitome you have not only be talented or promising but that talent is to be nurtured and cared for sensibly with discipline in life to go a long way ... otherwise you are stuck-up, fall in the midway and forgotten... history knows.
Bird vs. Tua. Technical fight.
Following the win over Byrd, Ibeabuchi turned down $700,000 to fight fringe contender Jeremy Williams, and he also turned down $1 million for a showdown with the undefeated Michael Grant..
Why on earth would he decline either of those offers..? Crazy
@@Bruzeys His mental health must of had something to do with him declining the offers...
@@mjgolf1 Yup.
Ike...was a mess upstairs.
Very...VERY...unfortunate for boxing and those he harmed.
Sad story.
00:22 😂..look at that guy!🤣
If Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield had a baby they would call him Ike 🥊💥
Scary guy.
For the life of me, I don't know how you can get pinched in the face by Ike and still smile.
Tua gave him brain damage
💯🤫
Anyone know what happened to Ike. Is he alive today?
Ike..are you here yet...??
I never even heard of this boxer. I wonder if he could come back and beat up Fury. He's in his 50's now so probably not.
He had good potensial i think. Sometimes, it's just not happening.
Byrd was actually a very good fighter...literally beat Vitali, which is no small task
Ike was a nightmare.
If you haven’t watched the Ike vs Tua fight watch it bc it’s a slug fest and Ike wasn’t the same afterwards. Also, a lot for the “quotes” used in this are from analyst or reporters speaking about other fighters such as Tyson…. One addition comment I hated Chris Byrd…
I was in the third row of that fight
i was in the second/that was you kicking The back of my chair
We should def celebrate the boxer.. But mourn the man..
Indeed.
Deep,real deep bro
Imagine arguing that knock down 🤣🤣🤣 he could have gotten 15 years for that punch
The Ex Girlfriend's son was not autistic, ... It was one of those unfortunate circumstances and it's not boxing, though, if I might add. Thanks and God Bless 🙏
Wow, like the grandson of Sonny Liston.
He reminds me of sonny listen
His time has gone. A good right hand from Wilder or Zhang would send him back to prison for good😂
In his prime Ike would have cooked Wilder.
Ike was avoided by Tyson
He should have been banned from boxing after all the legal troubles.
Lewis would have beat him.
Ike without question was going to become the new Heavyweight champion of the world after he beat Byrd. The problem was nobody really wanted to fight him including Lennox. Ike going to prison was a total conspiracy. He was far more valuable in the ring than in jail and why would they put a man in prison who can make the people in charge hundred of millions of dollars every time he gets in the ring? The truth is the people in charge didn't want to see him become the new champ it's really that simple. President Ibeabuchi was his own man and did things his way just like Muhammad Ali but Ali was already the people's champion and when Ali messed up they always found a way to fix it even when he refused to go into the United States Army.
Despite all if the controversy surrounding Ali they still allowed this man to eventually fight but Ike mysteriously goes to prison at the very pinnacle of his boxing career. Trust me the people in charge had to find a way to get rid of this man forever and they succeeded unfortunately so robbing the boxing world of one of the greatest heavyweights that never was. Ike was and still is a real champion. Anyone who can convince David Tua to consider retiring from boxing altogether after a fight is a legendary fighter and that fight speaks for itself.🙏
No he paralysed a 15 year old kid no conspiracy look what they did to tyson that was so wrong!
Ike was impressive in boxing.
Ike was NOT impressive as a man because he was mentally ill.
He proved over & over that he was a danger and menace to society.
^^ THAT, is the reason Ike's career ended.
@@BrotherPatriot 🤔Did you personally see these crimes or know anyone else who actually saw Ike do the things they say he did or are you just going to take the word of the people he was surrounded by particularly the media? These people had to come up with something that would officially put him away for a long time. Think about it for a second. All the way up to that point he had never been in any real serious trouble before and why would he wait to the very moment he beats Byrd putting himself in prime position to be a legitimate number one contender to then decide it's time to get in trouble and go to prison for multiple years? It makes no sense considering the fact he had so much to gain and everything to lose. Of course the easy answer for people to use is that he was mentally unstable. Well that sounds like more of a legitimate excuse nitwits like to use when they want to discredit someone. It far more to this story than just what we know and it's a true conspiracy why he stayed in prison for so long. It's insane but it only makes sense if they conspired to keep him from getting the belt. These things happen everyday unfortunately so.Its the world we've always lived in and clearly it's never going to change.😳🤷😩
@@J.Crooner
Ike's mental instability is well documented.
Feel free to do your own research.
@@BrotherPatriot Are you talking about video evidence or words on a piece of paper because it matters. I'm only interested in the videos. You got that???
120 in prison for kidnapping......judge must have got paid under the table ; BIG MONEY.
He had never fought a top class fighter. He is fckin overrated for no reason
change the title, not accurate
