Samuel Okon Peter, a.k.a The Nigerian Nightmare, and the number 1 contender for the World Heavyweight crown has been temporarily named the world number 1. He was supposed to take on Kazakhstan-born, Maskaev for the heavyweight championship on October 6. But Maskaev suffered multiple hernia dislocation and will be out of action for at least 3 months. So the Nigerian Nightmare, with 28 knockout victories, has been named the world heavyweight championship for now.
While it is still a temporary position, I believe that in due time, he will permanently fill this position.
Congrats!
