Ola Afolabi - Cruiserweight from London fights out of America ranked #12 by boxrec.

Could be intereting to get him in the ring with Enzo or Haye

I Know he beat Norris in his last fight, he has got a good variety of punches and wasn't intimidated by going in with a former World champ and a good one as well.
Norris wasn't anywhere near the fighter he once was , but it was still a good performance by a virtual novice to stop him.

I asked the same question of the the http://www.boxingtalk.com British forum and got the following response from a knwledgable poster

"

He's a wild, dangerous fighter. Nothing special in terms of skills or technique but he's raw and not easily deterred. I expected him to beat Norris really - a guy that had recently been beaten/held to a draw in ugly heavyweight matches against Albert Sosnowski and Vasiliy Jirov.

The Simms win was a good one, but I'm not quite sure what the American has left these days following a long amateur career. He seems to have quickly slipped into talented journeyman mode. At 6 and 8 round level - because of his low workrate off the back-foot - he's often outhustled. Simms is fighting an unbeaten German Marco Huck in Germany at the weekend.

Afolabi's been on a few Guilty Boxing cards, and they're often shown on BEN TV during the week. Might be able to catch him on one of them.
