Within his first year of boxing, he fought 2016 Olympian Guido Vianello to a draw. In 2021, he was knocked out by another \u201cBig Baby,\u201d Jared Anderson. Since that loss, Ibeh has won 11 fights. Those close to him compare Ibeh to famed heavyweight puncher Earnie Shavers and claim that opponents are avoiding him. Now 32, Ibeh is a veteran hoping to live up to that lofty talk when he faces the 37-year-old Miller.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A native of Nigeria now living in Phoenix, Ibeh took one amateur fight, beat a former national champion,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[158257,1935,5063,105983,20429,215145,215146,5122,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-720653","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-arizona-cardinals","9":"tag-boxing","10":"tag-fabio-wardley","11":"tag-guido-vianello","12":"tag-jarrell-miller","13":"tag-kingsley-ibeh","14":"tag-lopez-stevenson","15":"tag-oleksandr-usyk","16":"tag-sports","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115958179729697425","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=720653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720653\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=720653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=720653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=720653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
