Avoided Kingsley Ibeh Demands his Seat at The Heavyweight Table

LOS ANGELES (April 3, 2025) – Currently riding a 10-fight win streak, Nigeria-born Kingsley “The Black Lion” Ibeh (15-2-1, 13 KOs) believes he’s being avoided by top heavyweights because he’s feared and considered too much of a risky opponent. The 31-year-old Ibeh, who fights out of Phoenix (AZ), is a member of the loaded Toro Promotions stable of heavyweights, undefeated for the past four years yet unable to secure a major fight. There are plenty of reasons for heavyweights looking for less risky opponents. Ibeh is a physically imposing figure, standing 6’ 4” and weighing in at 285 pounds, as well as a southpaw who brings unusual athleticism into the ring as a former professional and college football player. “I think they’re scared of me,” Ibeh claimed. “I got Read more [...]
