Simon Ibekwe returns to the ring in Thailand with the biggest opportunity of his professional career as he faces unbeaten German heavyweight Daniel Baer on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs. Mariusz Wach. Ahead of fight night, Ibekwe sits down with Seconds Out to discuss why he accepted such a dangerous fight after nearly a year out of the ring, his ambitions of reaching British title level, and the confidence he has gained from sharing the ring with some of the biggest names in heavyweight boxing, including Anthony Joshua, Daniel Dubois and Moses Itauma. The Midlands heavyweight also reflects on his late start in boxing, the setbacks that have kept him out of the ring, working alongside respected trainer Don Charles, meeting Tyson Fury in camp, and the advice the former world champion gave him ahead of this career-defining opportunity. Ibekwe also gives his thoughts on the heavyweight division, including Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury, the potential Daniel Dubois vs. Fabio Wardley rematch, Moses Itauma vs. Filip Hrgović, and reveals why he believes he belongs at British title level.
