After reading the story of Kenyan heavyweight Ray "King Kong" Ochieng, we at WBN felt compelled to write about his ongoing fight saga with fellow Kenyan Robert Ochung.
Ochung made his debut in 2007 against a 6-5-1 Ochieng, losing in the second round via knockout and has since been pitted against his rival six more times and each time been knocked out within three rounds.
Now call me sceptical, but after one knockout defeat and unless that defeat was a controversial one, I see no reason to be matched up with that fighter again, let alone six more times.
I am not too sure about how the Kenyan heavyweight scene is contested, but looking as Ochung’s record it reads, 0-10-0, and with six other active heavyweights, surely he could be matched up with another boxer.
Ochieng, 33, on the other hand, amazing once fought world cruiserweight champion Krzystof Wlodarczyk for the Polish International title, although I am not too sure how that would work.
In 2008, he fought for the WBC Youth World Heavyweight title and not surprisingly lost to a 23 year-old. Whether a 32 year-old fighter should fight for a World youth title is a whole other story, but his record does make strange reading.
