Sakio Bika: The hunger is still there

By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing

Former WBC super middleweight champion Sakio “Scorpion” Bika (34-7-3, 22 KOs) will clash with Adam Stowe (6-2-2,4 KOs) at the East Cessnock Bowling Club, New South Wales, Australia on February 26.

“After this fight, I will go back to England or the US or Dubai,” Bika, 41, told the Newcastle Herald. “It has been very hard to get a fight because of COVID and restrictions on travel. I am 100% ready. I am always training. I never stopped training. People have been too scared to fight me because it is like going to war.

“I still want to get to the top. Winning the WBC world championship, winning The Contender, winning the IBO belt … I still feel like I can improve. The hunger is still there. I would not be getting up at five in the morning to go running if I didn’t have the hunger.”

  • I can’t believe Bika is still just 41 years old. The man has never been stopped and has always showed up in shape. Exciting fighter indeed.

  • Love watching Bika fight, always brings it, fights anyone. Best of luck to him, I’ll watch!

  • My respects to a true warrior, but I think is time to watch the events from a distance, not to be involved in it.

  • During his prime fighting period, Bika was hell on wheels, and a hard nail MF. Glad to see he is alive and well.

  • Still one of the greatest fights I’ve EVER seen was Bika vs Jaidon Codrington. Definitely wishing him well on his return.

    • That Codrington fight was one of the first things that came to mind when I saw this article. The first round of that fight was a great round.
