Many thanks Mark!
I am finding the ranks of African fighters thinner and thinner with each passing year in my universe - these are a big help.

Note: Olusegun is unbeaten, but we'll find out how good he is in a couple of months when he faces Ike Quartey.

More Africans ...
... without pics on this snowed-in morning, including four Tanzanians and a Libyan: Anthony Mathias, Francis Miyeyusho, Ramadhan Miyeyusho, Abdallah "Prince Naseem" Mohamed and Libyan Maurizio Tralongo, who fought out of Italy.
Note: F. Miyeyusho is an update of a file Scot (SAL) did a couple of years ago, but I have it wrong in the bio, which should say "Rated by SAL, adjusted by me." Sorry, Scot.
