this bit here is where Ola is talking - I believe - about Enzo Macarinelli in Manchester. I was at that fight..... it was a bill with Khan-Barrera, Bradley Pryce fought Matthew Hall, Nicky Cook fought some South American and got busted up to the body and stopped early and Ola Afolabi mingled and was very popular with the fans on his way from the ring back to the dressing room. It was a great occasion to be at.

Two days before the biggest fight of my career, I was in an emergency room having surgery on my eye. The surgery was successful but I wasn't to have physical contact for at least two weeks.
Two days after the surgery, I was fighting a guy with a 29 and 1 record with 23 coming by way of KO. I knocked him out in the ninth round and became the interim world champion. A few months later, still at the age of 29, I got the chance to become a full world champion.

I had absolutely no idea about the eye-surgery 2 days earlier... I don't know how he did it. I'm sure the board wouldn't have let him fight if they'd known about it. Good luck to him, wish him well in his retirement from the sport .

In and out of prison, and, at least within the last few years, still surrounded by criminals. The circumstances behind his wealth are also vaguely explained in the articles I read, mainly just given in passing as 'property'. He seemingly had no amateur career, has only fought bums, and could recently only manage an MD over a 1-6 opponent (did they think he was safe at that level?), yet now he finds himself facing a vastly more experienced title challenger with a world ranking on the line.

Watch him win too....

Apparently he inherited a gravel plant from his father-in-law, must be a great place to make things disappear...

Big surprise there!

crusader wrote:Yep, 3rd round stoppage.

All the commentary I've read on social media is essentially 'lol, what a farce that was'
