under the radar thomas won the ebu title in italy in may, with a win over the defending champ, streaking tatttoo man alessio lorusso (21-4), who had won 15 straight

i'm such a newb i only just saw it

great job tommy

this is larusso btw

That's a great win for Essomba, perhaps his opponent was distracted thinking about what tattoo to get next...

It doesn't get much better than European Champion, though, especially for someone with such a mixed record. Perhaps he'll go on a decent run at Bantamweight now.

Big win on the road, tough to get a win in Italy, hopefully he'll get a promoter behind him, otherwise he will be defending on the road.
He will always get good work as an opponent in title fights though
He's 35 and he needs to make some hay

The full EBU title ? Passed me by too!

Yep, super win on the continent. I can say with some confidence that was not in the script !

Essomba might be better off defending abroad to the highest bidder.

Or W@rren might get his cheque book out and entice him to defence against his boy wonder, Dennis McCann.

He has to defend against Elie Konki (who I admit I have never heard of) purse bids by the end of July.

What a freak. I genuinely don’t understand this level of tattooing. Prob handsome under that nonsense.

he might have a life crisis when he soons runs out of tattoo space

Fair play to the chap. Solid operator.

I assume pulling women was the main thought process behind it. It's probably effective knowing today's generation.

I didn’t know the M 13 gang had a branch in Italy.
