'I Used To Be A Boxer Until A Delta Boy Gave Me An Unforgettable Beating' - Actor Mr Ibu

By -

Nollywood comic actor, John Okafor
popularly known as Mr. Ibu , has revealed
why he ended his boxing career to become
an actor.
In an interview with PUNCH, the Nollywood
star disclosed he was once a boxer and
added that he quit boxing when a Delta boy
battered his face in a championship fight.
He said:
  “I would have been a boxer. I used to be a
   boxer. I was doing well until I went for a
   championship in Delta State. The boy I
   fought with was an idiot; he gave me a
   beating I would never forget. That boy
   changed my face and made me hate
   anything that had to do with gloves.
   After the fight, I looked in the mirror and I
   could not even recognize myself. I could        see
   with only one eye for sometime due to the
   punches he dealt me. That was the                  incident
   that made me quit boxing.”
