Description: Photo essay dedicated to the late Nigerian middleweight and light heavyweight champion.
I was two years old when Hogan "Kid" Bassey (born Okon Bassey Asuquo) became the first Nigerian to win a world boxing (featherweight) championship. Kid Bassey became a world champion in June 1957 by stopping the Algerian Cherif Hamia in the 10th-round. He immediately became a national sports hero. In 1958, my playmate Bassey (also from Calabar area) will engage in mock fights in which we each pretend to be Hogan Bassey. The "Kid" was born on June 3, 1932 in Calabar, Nigeria and passed away on January, 26, 1998.
