|}}Franklin George Egobi (born 14 July 1976 in Lagos, Nigeria) is a professional Nigerian heavyweight boxer from Tooting, London. His professional record stands at 15 wins, 10 by way of knock-out, four losses in 19 bouts.[1]

Boxing career

Nicknamed "the Prince",[2][3] Egobi started his boxing career in South Africa, making his debut against Donovan Luff on 22 February 2000 and winning a unanimous judges decision after four rounds.[1] He fought seven more times, all knock-out victories, before defeating Isaac Mahlangu for the IBF Continental Africa heavyweight title on 25 September 2001.[1] His first defeat was at the hands of Petr Sedlak in Ploiești, Romania on 24 June 2003.[1] Egobi was due to fight Scott Gammer on in June 2007 as a replacement for Colin Kenna (who had suffered a nose injury),[2][3] but Egobi in turn suffered an injury of his own and pulled out of the fight four days before.[3]

Prior to fighting debutant Lukas Kuznowicz in September 2009, Egobi was sparring with former undisputed World heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis.[4] He defeated Kuznowicz on points over the four round contest.[4] He also fought for the vacant Latvian heavyweight title against Edgars Kalnārs on 18 October 2008, losing a unanimous decision after 10 rounds.[1]

In October 2010, Egobi entered the 14th Prizefighter aired live on Sky Sports, where he faced Kevin McBride in the quarter-finals, losing by split decision.[1][5][6]

Personal life

Egobi teaches children boxing at Nightingale School in Tooting.[7] He also enjoys playing table tennis and football.[7] He also supports Premier League football team, Chelsea.[7]
