Adamu the Crusader not giving up on boxing yet

Former Commonwealth Super Middleweight champion Charles

Adamu AKA the Crusader says his professional career is far from over even

though he has not fought in nearly two years.

Adamu, 17-5, 12 KOs, has remained inactive since losing his

Commonwealth belt to Briton George Groves in April 2010, many boxing insiders

even forgetting him altogether. But the man famously nicknamed the Crusader

says he will be back, only if he gets the right manager.

“I’m not finished with boxing yet, trust me I will be back.

I’m fit, I’m training everyday and I’m ready to fight even today but I have to

get a good manager.

“The sport is very tough with lots of challenges and without

a good manager who will take care of all your needs whilst you are training and

fighting, then it becomes even harder,” a disconsolate Adama told the ALL SPORTS

newspaper.

Also a former national champion, Adamu remains adamant he

will be back because he is a warrior and no amount of disappointments will

discourage him from the childhood dream he has always harboured to be a world

champ.

He stated: “Can you believe I’ve never had any real purse

and no money at all even when I fought in Britain and won the Commonwealth

title?

“Bad managers ruined me but I know when I get a good

manager, everything will be alright. I want to be a world champion. I want to

beat Carl Froch before I retire.”
