The continuing comeback story of the United States-based and Nigerian-born professional heavyweight boxer Enobong “The Nigerian Gentleman” Umohette recorded a new chapter over the weekend in the city of Monroe Michigan.
On Saturday 1Oth August 2024 at The Providence Community Center Monroe, Michigan, Umohette faced off against Juan “Tactical Dynamite” Silva in a scheduled 10 round contest.
With what appeared to be tactical battle of wits between The Nigerian Gentleman and The Tactical Dynamite for the first 2 rounds, an exchange in the final seconds of the second round, had Silva seemingly hurt and saved by the bell.
Sensing a vulnerability in Silva’s defenses, Umohette’s increased attack, ended with a left hook that floored Silva who could not beat the count and was knocked out in the third round.
Reacting to the win, Umohette thanked God for the ability to perform at a high competitive level despite an almost 8 year retirement and thanked Nigerians at home and abroad for the support he has received.

He also thanked his promoter Erik Flemming who monitored the fight remotely and thanked his  management team which consisted of Rhonda Yates, Veteran heavyweight boxing champion Jeremiah “The Beast’ Williams, Richard Mason and George Offiong.

Since his return from an almost 8-year retirement in late 2022, Umohette has remained undefeated in four fights.
With Umohette’s thirteenth career win, The Nigerian Gentleman stated that he is now set to vie for an IBA (International Boxing Association) heavyweight title in the coming months and thanked members of the press for continuing to support the sport of boxing.
