Just read that oyebola was shot in the face and in in a critical state. Its a sign of the times in this country that a certain ammount of people want to walk around carrying knives or guns.

I remember Oyebola at the George foreman fight in the Docklands back in 1990 he was a big man and touted as the next champ of England, however i think his chin wasnt up to it and was stopped by Welsh and Julius francis.

I hope he makes a recovery 'Big Bad Oyebola'

I heard on the news that the shooting may have been due to a row over smoking. Was James a doorman in the bar where he was shot?

There is quite a long thread on the British page about this, looks like James Oyebala is in a really bad way

Sadly, the news coming through is that they are planning to turn off his life support machine.

May he rest in peace.

what an utter act of madness to rob this man of his life over such a thing as smoking !!!
