Ike "The President" Ibeabuchi had the boxing world at his feet in 1997 after vanquishing David Tua in a battle for the ages in Sacramento. The Nigerian heavyweight''s subsequent descent into a vortex of mental illness and crime and punishment was as shocking as it was tragic.Was Ibeabuchi a vulnerable man exploited by a ruthless sport and a dysfunctional criminal justice system, or was he guilty-as-charged for his deeds and rightly punished?Somewhere amid a colorful cast of characters including Republican politicians, crooked promoters, and demons hiding in air-conditioning units, lies the uncomfortable truth.In President of Pandemonium, Luke G. Williams vividly recreates Ibeabuchi''s life in and out of the ring.
