Fans spoke, Prizefighting.tv listened: Danny Williams Out, Idris Affini in for ‘the president’s return
Danny Williams is out, probably for the best. Now it is Idris Affini who walks with Ike Ibeabuchi in the ring for “The President’s Return” on August 23, 2025 in Lagos. Prizefighting.tv has officially made the change and confirmed that Ibeabuchi will still fight on PPV. And yes, it’s still a Madhouse event. A ghost from the box’s past is now facing a loud, local brawler with nothing to lose.
The fighting card is streaming exclusively on pay-pervention at Prizefighting.tv
Ibeabuchi’s comeback still becomes strange
Let’s just say this: The replacement fight can actually be better. Affini may not be a household name, but the man hits like a truck and fights as he debts. He is 18-8-2 with 15 knockouts, and he was there with real African talent like Olanrewaju Durodola and Akani Phuzi. He fought for a WBO Africa title. He is not a tourist.
And he’s not afraid. Affini says: “My coach talked like a myth about Ike ibeabuchi. But it’s praising fights. I’m going to knock my idol.” It is either madness or honesty, and in this game there is not much difference.
“I can remember when I was so young and got new in boxing, my pioneer coach always called the name of Ike ibeabuchi to encourage us. He told us how powerful and deadly he was on the ring. He told us that Ike Ibeabuchi would be the biggest boxer that would be from Africa and Nigeria at some point, but for the unparalleled circumstances. It is a prize -fighting.
Ike Ibeabuchi remains unbeaten – because no one has touched him for 25 years. He was a monster in the 90s. He beat David Tua. He stopped Chris Byrd. Then he disappeared behind bars, wrapped in stories darker than any knockout pool. And now he’s back.
It is a great opportunity for Idris Affini to test himself against a living legend, “a spokesman for Prizefighting.tv said.” Ike Ibeabuchi is a fighter of tremendous talent and power. We believe that this game will deliver a compelling and unforgettable evening of boxing for the fans in Lagos. “
