Nobody hands you anything at light heavyweight. Tafon Nchukwi — "Da Don" to fight fans — has built a 6-4 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving Cameroon's regional scene.
On the feet he's a problem: 5.57 significant strikes a minute at 56% accuracy, and 67% of his wins end in a knockout. The math is bad for anyone standing across from him. Add a 77" reach, and the puzzle gets harder still.
He's coming off a loss to AJ Dobson. Careers aren't defined by the fall, though; they're defined by the rebound.
