Nigeria Nightmare returns to the ring .....Wow!!!


“Nigerian Nightmare” Sam Peter returned to the ring this week and hardly anybody noticed. Fighting in Mexico, the former WBC heavyweight champ stopped a 6-9 fighter named Juan Carlos Salas in three rounds. Now 36-3(29) Peter scaled 262-pounds.Still only 36 years old, Peter last faced anyone of note back in 2011 when he was brutally stopped by Robert Helenius. Before that, Peter lost his WBC belt to a comebacking Vitali Klitschko.

It’s not clear if Peter is again serious about fighting or whether he is merely picking up a little cash. There was a time when the power hitter was a genuine force and fan-favourite, but today it is almost certain Peter will not get anything like a big fight again.

Still, in boxing you never really know for sure. Maybe, if he can string together a few wins, peter could wind up being put in with a name.

A return with Robert Helenius would prove somewhat interesting.

Klitschko on Anthony Joshua in 2014

IN 2014 Don McRae interviewed Wladimir Klitschko, then the world heavyweight champion, for Boxing News. Klitschko had sparred Anthony Joshua, who now, two years on, is the IBF heavyweight titlist and is actually closing in on a fight with Wladimir Klitschko. Here is what Klitschko had this to say back then in 2014 about Anthony Joshua and what McRae wrote about the conversation:

“All those guys you mentioned [Haye, Fury, Chisora],” Klitschko says with a chuckle, “Well Anthony is definitely putting them in the shadows. Anthony has really great potential and a huge talent. I feel he is carrying something special inside him and I’m convinced he can make it and became a great champion.”Will Joshua eventually succeed Klitschko as heavyweight boxing’s most dominant force? “Yes.” Klitschko says emphatically. “He will be the next undisputed champion after me.”

Klitschko pauses when asked if he can imagine fighting Joshua – when their difference in experience, and age, is so marked. “Of course, he needs to learn more and get more experience. But he got some when we trained together. I can’t say for sure that we’ll never fight because it depends on how long I am going to keep going and how fast he is going to move up the ratings. So it depends on a lot of things. But look at Muhammad Ali – he ended up fighting his sparring partner Larry Holmes.”

That seems an unfortunate comparison, for Klitschko’s sake, because Holmes dismantled the damaged former champion – and ruined him a little more. But Klitschko warms to his theme. “I’ve had guys, like Tony Thompson, who were my sparring partners before they became my opponents. So anything can happen. But it’s important Anthony keeps both feet on the ground and doesn’t get too cocky. The big mistake everybody makes – and I did it too because I wasn’t focused and that’s why I lost a couple of fights – is to believe the hype. But Anthony definitely has an amazing future in boxing.”

Anthony Joshua lend his support Tyson Fury.


ANTHONY JOSHUA hopes his domestic heavyweight rival Tyson Fury soon makes “headlines for the right reasons again”. Fury last night relinquished his WBA and WBO heavyweight titles so he can focus on getting over the problems that have kept him out of the ring since he dethroned Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015.

Speaking to Boxing News, IBF champion Joshua – who could now take on Klitschko in December – exhibited nothing but respect for the plight of Fury, which include severe depression and substance abuse.“Each to their own – it doesn’t affect me directly what Tyson Fury is up to,” Joshua said when asked his reaction to the issues Tyson is attempting to deal with.

“I’m not one of these people who say, ‘He shouldn’t have done that or he should do that.’ Everyone goes through their own problems, everyone has their own situations that they’re in.

“You heard what I said, I hope he gets better, I hope comes back to doing what he does best, what he’s good at, and that’s fighting. Start making headlines for the right reasons again, and that’s really all I have to say on the subject.”

Tyson Fury voluntary vacate his tittle

"I won the titles in the ring and I believe that they should be lost in the ring, but I'm unable to defend at this time and I have taken the hard and emotional decision to now officially vacate my treasured world titles and wish the next in-line contenders all the very best as I now enter another big challenge in my life which I know, like against Klitschko, I will conquer." ~Tyson Fury
