If you have not read this book in your life time, it’s high time you do. If you have read it, it is time for a refresher course. Read it again, because tough times called for tough measures. The time we are in requires continuous motivation and life coaching mentorship. If you are going through a tough time whether financially, economically, socially, spiritually, marriage-wise and unemployment, this book could be your pathfinder, your Google map to solution and your android app to manage your peculiar situation.

 What is the secret that made some people succeed in tough times? How do they surmount the tough times that overwhelm other? Why do they excel while others failed?  Robert Schuller said, “The difference between those who win and those who don’t is the application of the powerful concept of ‘Possibility Thinking’. Winners dare to dream. They commit themselves to it. They dare to try, to take risk. They believe ‘If it’s going to be, it’s up to me’. They understand that failure is an event not a person. They never quit.”

Excerpt from the boxing champs chat.


How do you feel winning your first return match?
I feel good. I am happy I did not disappoint myself, my coach - Always, my family and most importantly my fans. This is just the beginning.

After this, what other titles are you hunting for?
This is just the beginning, I will get there. I am moving forward for good things. My aspiration is to move to the professional level. I might be fighting by Easter Sunday.

Apart from this fight what else are you doing?
I am still looking for a promoter that will make my accession faster and easier.

Why do you want to go back to boxing after so long?
Boxing is my hobby, it my sport and it’s what I know. It is my God's gift. I just feel like coming back.

Where are you going with boxing?
I want to move ahead because in the first place I did not retire.  I just went away after the Olympic training tour in 2008. After I came back, I wasn't impressed with the financial rewards.

Who is Kaybee?
I am from Ijebu-Ode in Ogun state. Born and bought up in Bariga.

With you coming back to boxing, what are you going to do differently this time?
The different will be the clear cut goal; this time round I am aiming to advanced to the professional category. I am in the amateur category now.

Why do you love boxing?
I just love boxing. It is what I understand and know. I have try football, I have been a football club promoter but none of them gives me joy like boxing.

What was the reaction of your family?
I received a lot of support from my wife and mother. My wife was just making fun of me doubting my ability to bounce back.

How are you able to instill the discipline boxing required and your social life style?
I was determined to come back to boxing, so it was easy for me to overcome all unhealthy life style.

How do you get into boxing?
It is a long story; I started out in the 90s. Tunde was the genesis of my boxing career. Then, we were very close friends and I can deal with him physically. Suddenly, when he has started boxing training I can't ride him anymore. Any small issue, Tunde will deal with me.  So, that lures me into boxing. I just decided to start boxing training too. I learned boxing for self defense, I never thought it will take me this far. I was just taking it gradually attending boxing events. Then I attended a Boxing Day and not only won my fight but I was also awarded the best boxer of the day. I was amazed, is this how easy it is to win? That was how I was subsumed into boxing. Since I got that award and recognition, my interest in boxing grow like a wide flowers. I am coming back to boxing again because of another friend, Femi Ajayi. I went to the National Stadium to watch a boxing match sometime in the middle of last year. And behold, Femi was one of the boxers. He has not retired; he was still an active boxer. There and then, I made up my mind to return to the ring. If Femi can still fight I can do it.

What schools do you attend?
I attended Abule Ado Primary school and I went to Gbagada Comprehensive.

Before you retired the first time, what were the titles you won?
I was a Lagos State Champion from 2001 to 2003; I represented Lagos State in 2003 and won a silver medal. 2004 I represented Edo State because then Lagos State doesn't reward her boxers financially and I won a gold medal. And I was handsomely rewarded. In 2008, I went to Olympic training tour in Korea.

Now that you are back in boxing, what are you looking for?
I am back to take the Nigeria Champion. That is my first target. When I collect the Nigeria Champion, I will know what to do.

Apart from boxing, what else do you do?
I am into Hotel management.
