seemed fairly solid

last seen beating Okesola in one ????

whats he doing?

Was due to box in Frank Maloney's Heavyweight Factor Tournament that was due to go ahead at later part of 2011 then has been delayed and now seems to have been scrapped.

Will be back out boxing soon.

Whatever happened to Fola Okesola...why did he never try it as a pro in the 90's? proper style I mean

He had a good job as a banker or something and he lost a close decision to Luke Simpkin and lost his heart for the sport
I guess. Not much hype about his debut at the time I remember, suprising seeing he was an olympian.

I have no idea what he is doing. His last fight was in October though so it's not like he has been out for a very long time.
He had a solid amateur career (won silver medals at both the African and Asian championships) and was robbed on his pro debut in Morocco. Anyone who can stop Rasani in round 1 is clearly a decent fighter so hopefully he comes back.

Ta chief!

Fighting Dillian Whyte on the Price/Sexton undercard.
What a card that is shaping up to be, I reckon Meddoune could take this, Dillian will have to be wary of his power

just saw this

pretty good matchup. Dillian could get tested here.

That morrocan sure can swing, looks to have a right nasty streak too. I watched him dispatch pumped up cruiser Hastings Rasani with ease. Short and very stocky, will be interesting to see how he copes with a long accurate jab.

I don't know about tested, I think Whyte will get beat here. Meddoune looks a bit of a handful.

Great bill this. Shame we'll probably only get a two hour Sky show to cover it.
