“The story of Ike Ibeabuchi is one of the strangest in modern
boxing history and Luke G. Williams has told it with great clarity,
sensitivity, and skill. President of Pandemonium is crammed with
raw and revealing details as Williams draws us into the unsettling
world of a man as vulnerable as he was destructive. It is a
gripping read.”—Donald McRae, The Guardian Ike “The
President” Ibeabuchi had the boxing world at his feet in 1997
after vanquishing David Tua in a battle for the ages in Sacramento.
The Nigerian heavyweight’s subsequent descent into a vortex of
mental illness and crime and punishment was as shocking as it was
tragic. Was Ibeabuchi a vulnerable man exploited by a ruthless
sport and a dysfunctional criminal justice system, or was he
guilty-as-charged for his deeds and rightly punished? Somewhere
amid a colorful cast of characters including Republican
politicians, crooked promoters, and demons hiding in
air-conditioning units, lies the uncomfortable truth. In President
of Pandemonium, Luke G. Williams vividly recreates Ibeabuchi’s
life in and out of the ring. Combining exclusive interviews with
those who guided his career and observed him closely, as well as
firsthand testimony from “The President” himself, this is a
story of brilliance destroyed by dark forces, both real and
imagined.
