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 [...]

Kansas Boxing Prodigy Marco “El Tiburón” Romero Preparing a takeover

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (February 26, 2025) – Although Kansas isn’t a hotbed for boxing, blue-chip super middleweight prospect Marco “El Tiburón” Romero (4-0, 3 KOs) is on a mission to personally put his state on the pugilistic map, so to speak, as the potential successor to his favorite boxer, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. In a state known for its invaluable role in agriculture, often referred to as the “Breadbasket of America,” sports in Kansas City are ruled by the Kansas City Chiefs, the University of Kansas men’s basketball team, and occasionally the Kansas City Royals.
