David Tua vs Ike Ibeabuchi — one of the most extraordinary heavyweight fights of the 1990s. On June 7, 1997, two undefeated heavyweight wrecking machines collided in a fight that has become a cult classic among boxing fans. David Tua entered at 27-0 with 23 knockouts, already regarded as one of the most destructive punchers in the heavyweight division. Across from him was the 16-0 Ike Ibeabuchi — “The President” — a powerful, athletic and hugely promising heavyweight facing the biggest test of his career. What followed was remarkable. Rather than box cautiously, the two heavyweights went to war for 12 rounds. According to the final punch statistics, Ibeabuchi threw an astonishing 975 punches, while Tua threw 755. That's 1,730 punches between two heavyweights. Ibeabuchi landed 322 punches to Tua's 282 and ultimately won a unanimous decision, but both men's reputations were enhanced by a brutal, relentless fight that remains essential viewing for heavyweight boxing fans.
