IBA
Jr. Middleweight champion of the world Ashira Oure, would like
to thank his friend Floyd Mayweather. For taking time out to do
a favour and sign an autograph and pose for a photo with Oure´s
student Fredrick at his Gym in Las Vegas where Fredrick was
vacationing during the Easter holidays. Oure also wants to thank
Mayweather´s uncle Roger for lending his time to accommodate
Fredrick, who trains at AshiraOure at WellCome Fitness in
Hellerup near Copenhagen, Denmark. Also a big thank you to
former WBC super featherweight world champion, and Hall Of
Fameer, Cornelius Boza Edwards who coordinated the whole thing
for Ashira Oure and Fredrick.
Imagine 10 days in sunny Kenya, just as
Denmark is entering
the depths of winter! Now imagine spending half the time training with a
group of like-minded boxing enthusiasts, and half the time relaxing at
the pool or taking in the local tourist sights. Live healthy for all ten
days, work out every morning or retreat from the heat of the sun into
the gym to work on conditioning and boxing training.
The Boxing
Come along on the trip and you’ll be
improving your skills under the careful eye of the biggest name in
modern Kenyan boxing: Ashira Oure.
Every morning we will do the traditional
boxing workout involving cardio, abs work and going hard on
punching bags and
pads. Add in shadow boxing
and weight training and we’ve made sure this active safari lives up to
its name. We’ll also visit local boxing clubs, including Ashira Oure’s
mother club, Transfix.
The Sightseeing
There’s something for everyone on this
trip! It’ll be nice and warm, so you can go snorkeling – even swim with
the dolphins. Part of the time will be spent visiting historical sites
and other places of interest. Like the biggest crocodile farm in Africa
– Mamba Villager – with over 3000 crocodiles. We’ll also be taking a
trip to
Mombasa’s historic
Fort Jesus, built by the Portuguese in the
18th century. And
you’ll be able to enjoy a Tamarind evening Dhow featuring traditional
Kenyan dancers.
On the safari side, we will be visiting
Tsavo East (http://www.africanmeccasafaris.com/kenya/safaris/parks/tsavoeast.asp)
– the largest and oldest park in Kenya, which covers an area of 11,747
square kilometers and is famed for the man-eating lions now safely on
display in American museums. You’ll see the Big Five: lions, elephants,
leopards, rhino and buffalo. It’s a wild-side trip that attracts
tourists from around the globe to see, smell and hear these animals for
an unforgettable lifetime experience.
13 October - Safari trip to Tsavo East
wildlife reserve.
15 October - Back to Mombasa Serena
Beach Hotel to polish up those boxing skills.
20 October - Depart for
Copenhagen.
Pricing
The whole experience is just DKK 18,500
for all 10 days – all inclusive.
About Ashira Oure
Kenyan-born and raised Ashira Oure has
boxed for legendary boxing promoter Don King. Probably his best
performance was a convincing win over the then unbeaten and
top-five-ranked Quinton
Smith at the famous
Madison Square Gardens in
New York. He then
moved up in weight to challenge future Hall of Fame boxer
Joe Calzaghe for the WBO super middle-weight world title. Ashira
is a two-time world champ, former IBA middle-weight world champ and
current IBA light-middleweight champ.

25/06/08 ASHIRA: ROBERT
LARSEN HAS NOT PAID UP FOR THE FIGHT!!
IBA
light middleweight champion Evans “The African Warrior” Ashira
(29-3, 15 KOs) is furious with Danish promoter Robert Larsen
who staged the Copenhagen-based Kenyans April 19 title fight against
former European champion Mahmadou Thiam, a bout Ashira won by sixth
round knockout.
“This guy is such a crook! It’s been more than two months now, and
Larsen hasn’t paid me for the fight yet. He keeps coming up with
all sorts of excuses, and now I have had enough! I have been very
patient with him, but he is so full of B.S. it’s unbelievable, and
he should shut his fat mouth”, says the former WBA and WBO world
title-challenger.
Ashira, who is a freelancer with no promotional or managerial ties
to Larsen, also reveals that he was lead to believe by the promoter
that the Thiam-bout would be for the IBO Intercontinental title,
and only found out afterwards that this was a lie and that in reality
it was for the much less prestigious UBO I/C bauble.
On top of that, the fighter has still not received the belt he won,
as the promoter has not paid for it yet.
Larsen should stop running around playing big-shot when he can’t
even pay the boxers who fight on his shows. He is a sad joke, and
I can only warn anybody who is considering doing business with him
to think again. I know for a fact that I am not the only one he
owes money”.
Ashira is taking legal action to finally get his purse!
IBA
Junior middleweight champion of the world, the African Warrior,
Evans Ashira Oure (
(29-3, 15 KOs)reached
out to former WBC/WBA world super middleweight champion
Mikkel Kessler and gave him some quality sparring leading
up to his upcoming fight on June 21 against Dmitry Sartison for
the vacant WBA title.
The sparring was really good and just what Kessler needed to get
sharp for his fight, as both he and Ashira are very established
and at the very top among professional boxers in Denmark. Ashira
has sparred with many of the best fighters in the world, including
world champions
Floyd Mayweather and Arthur Abraham, and, like Kessler, he
also fought the legendary Joe Calzaghe, loosing on points after
twelve rounds
Ashira stepped in on short notice to do the rounds with Kessler
when his acting sparringpartner was said to not be able to manage
by himself, and Ashira is happy to have helped his friend and at
the same time be able to feel his own level.
04/08 ASHIRA
COMES BACK IN CLASS BY KAYOS THIAM IN 6TH
19.4.2008: In a battle of former world tittle- challengers, Evans
" The African Warrior" Ashira ( 29-3, 15 KOs) Knocked out former
European champion Mamadou Thiam (42-7, 39 KOs) in round six of a
scheduled twelve on Saturday night(April 19th) in Frederikssund,
Denmark. Ashira, a promotional free agent who once went twelve hard
rounds with Joe Calzaghe at super middleweight,is now back at 154lbs,and
is looking to get in line for a shot at one of the four major world
tittles this year.
The fight started on even terms with both fighters having their
share of success, and with the experiencing some difficulties in
establishing his rhythm, but as the rounds progressed, Ashira started
taking over and applied more and more pressure on Thiam. From the
4th round it was apparent that the Frenchman was getting less and
less dangerous, and looked like a matter of time before Ashira would
be able to mount his final attack.
The end come 1.05 of the sixth round, when Ashira pinned Thiam against the
ropes and connected with hard body-shots before going to the head
and landing two crushing left hooks which send Thiam down for the
full count.
It was an impressive finish which showed that there is a lot left
in the Copenhagen-resident.
Ashira went through knee sugery after winning the IBA World Title
last September, and his first back. He hopes that one of the big
names in light middleweight division will be next:
"
i couldn't get my Rhythm going in the first few rounds, but i am
satisfied with my overall
performance.
There are always questions when you come back after hard injury,
but i think i did not take easy fight back, and feel like i will
be ready to take on anybody in the world next time out"
said Ashira,
and continued:
" I am a promotional free agent, so there are nobody holding me down. If any
of the World Champions out there are looking for live opponent who
is easy to deal with, let their people should call my manager Jan
Andersen. I'm ready to roll with anybody! "
