Tyson Fury reminded me of the good old days of Mohammed Ali as he danced round the ring, dodging with the ease and trickery of an Artful Dodger…

Mike Awoyinfa

It’s called the “sweet science” of boxing. And no one typifies it like Cassius Clay, the legendary Mohammed Ali. He who floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. I was watching the Tyson Fury versus Deontay Wilder fight and I was surprised by Tyson Fury’s ring movement and savvy.

The difference between him and Wilder was as clear as day. Tyson Fury reminded me of the good old days of Mohammed Ali as he danced round the ring, dodging with the ease and trickery of an Artful Dodger, jabbing and stinging like a bee. He was a delight to watch as he made Wilder look like a street fighter unschooled in the art of boxing. You could see that Fury has learnt from the old masters of boxing. He clowned like Ali, he kept talking while fighting, teasing the opponent, breaking him down psychologically. At times, he borrowed a page from Sugar Ray Leonard, swirling his arm like a windmill. He was poetry in perpetual motion. But twice he got careless and he paid for it. Knocked down, he was able to prove that the true test of a champion is the one who is able to rise and come back to fight. If he had not been knocked down a second time, chances are he would have won. If he had not suffered a layoff of three years, he would definitely have beaten Wilder. Now that Fury has gone to Wilder’s lion den and was able to tame him, Anthony Joshua now has nothing to fear. Wilder seems overrated. If he had faced Fury in the UK, it would have been a different story. Bravo, Tyson Fury!

I got interesting responses to my piece last week on the “UNFORGETTABLE ANI-MUMUNEY @ 50. I have encouraged Mrs. Ani-Mumuney to write a book—a small manual that will be a toolkit for working women. I read a similar book titled: LITTLE BLACK BOOK, A tool for Working Women By Otegha Uwagba, a London-based Nigerian brand consultant and the founder of Women Who, “a platform she created to connect and support working women worldwide, inspired by her time working at some London’s top ad agencies and cult youth brand Vice Media.” Below are the “Folake Letters”:

Bravo for your piece on Unforgettable Folake Ani-Mumuney at 50. She is more than unforgettable, sir. And here is my reason –about two months after I resigned as the Editor of Encomium Weekly to publish YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine, armed robbers visited my office. And after turning the whole place upside down, they carted away all our computers, laptops, phones, money and so on. Devastated beyond words and while still planning how to start all over again, a mutual friend obviously hinted her about my misfortune. Without any phone call or even a text message, I was left hugely dumbfounded when two days later, a truck pulled up in front of my office. The driver jumped down, clutching a paper he just wanted me to sign. Upon going through, I found out that Mrs. Folake Ani-Mumuney, whom I had only met once prior to that time, had chosen to replace all that was stolen and according to her to ensure that the YES! dream wasn’t cut short so early. Teary-eyed, and speechless, I watched as all the things stolen, including a generator, were being brought down. I know she may not like this, but the truth remains that those who do good, no matter how discreet they want it, must always be appreciated. I am eternally indebted to her for that singular action and as she joins the golden club, I want to tell her that the Lord will forever bless her and her family… Amen!—Azuh Arinze, Lagos

Thank you so much Mr. Awoyinfa for your kind and generous words! I am overwhelmed and lost for words as your reach and influence has just been confirmed anew with my phone ringing off the hook! I must confess though that the birthday was months back. However, this is lucky for me as I am getting to celebrate again and again! God bless and reward you for your kindness towards me—Folake Ani-Mumuney
