Remembering James Oyebola.

 One of the best talented fighter  James  "Big Bad " Oyebola was born in Lagos June 10th 1961. At 1986 Commonwealth games hosted Edinburgh Scotland. 

British Born Lennox Lewis represented Canada stopped the ambition of Nigeria Born  James Oyebola that represented England  from Winning gold but got bronze medal in Super Heavyweight Division. James Oyebola 6'9 inches tall at his pinnacle of amazing boxing career 1993 won WBC international Heavyweight title and also captured vacant British Heavyweight title November 19th 1994 hosted Cardiff Wales stopped Clifton Mitchell in the fourth rounds. 

1996 ended his boxing career when lost to Julius  Francis. July 23rd 2007 at Chateau 6 Club at Fulham Broadway James Oyebola visited a friend for a drink.

 He informed four  guys  at Court yard to strictly adhere to rule and stopped smoking at the bar. It was very sad and pathetic that James Oyebola last outing  resulted into his death as was shot at back of his neck and placed on life  support machine for four days later his family decided that they should turn off the machine after pronounced brain dead at Charing Cross Hospital London. 

Buried September 10th 2007. British Boxing Board of Control general secretary Simon Block tribute about  Nigeria born UK base boxing hero  James Oyebola" Throughout that time he was truly one of the  nature's gentle man and to think of him lyling in a hospital bed fighting for his life as a result of a cowardly and gutless attack by those who will not have been possessed of same courage that showed in the way he faced adversity, in and out of the ring this me with both sadness and dismay". 

I really appreciate the role Nigeria born  UK base Forley Wisdom played organised the ten years  rememberance of James Oyebola in the year 2017. Boxing Fraternity certainly missed African Pride and Nigeria Hero. In your opinion what can you say about the life of James Oyebola?
