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!
 

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! "
