Ivorian Boxing Legend Robinson Celebrated

Ivorian boxing legend Séa Robinson was celebrated in Abidjan at a jubilee event marking 50 years since his historic 1976 fight against world champion Elisha O'Bed.

The 81-year-old boxing icon was honored at the Palais des Sports, the same venue where he fought Elisha O'Bed in April 1976. Robinson lost that bout by a narrow decision but cemented his legacy as one of Ivory Coast's greatest fighters. saltysenoritaaz.com
