Ibeh is riding an eight-fight win streak since he lost to then-7-0 rising star Jared Anderson in 2021. Ibeh\u2019s most recent action was this past June 15th, in which he stopped Juan Torres in the second round, also at Emerald Queen Casino.<\/p>\n<p>Fighting out of Chino Hills, California, May has reeled off ten straight victories, nine decided by knockouts. May is a combat sports fighter who has also kick-boxed and fought in bare knuckles competition. May\u2019s last fight was an opening round technical knockout of John Shipman this past August 29 in Costa Mesa, California.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are both true warriors,\u201d matchmaker Whit Haydon said. \u201cWhen the fight was offered, they only asked when and where, and that they will be there with bells on. The place is almost sold out, so the great Northwest fans, and believe me when I say they ae the best, will be in for sights and sounds to behold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ibeh and May are both members of Toro\u2019s growing stable of solid heavyweights along with Ukraine Olympian Tsotne \u201cMr. T\u201d Tsotne (10-0, 7 KOs), Alexander \u201cThe Great\u201d Flores (19-5-1, 17 KOs), and Dante Stone (17-1, 11 KOs). Unlike other promoters, though, Toro isn\u2019t concerned about matching their fighters against each other like Ibeh and May, and Tsotne recently defeated Flores by way of a 10-round unanimous decision.<\/p>\n<p>Additional fights will soon be announced. Card subject to change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/232300-BOXING-INTERVIEWS-OF-A-LIFETIME\">Click Here to Order Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime By &#8220;Bad&#8221; Brad Berkwitt<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A classic Clash of Titans-like confrontation will headline \u201cEQC Fight Night,\u201d presented by Toro Promotions, Inc., and Whitfield Haydon Boxing, on Saturday night, October 19, in the EQC Event Center at the famed Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington.
