I was just looking at the Cruiserweight rankings and came across this guy - by boxrec he is ranked 5 in the UK?

Anyone got any more info on him... seems to be doing well. I'm thinking NABO champion and therefore could easily get sanctioned by the WBO.

How about a second "battle of Britain" this time with Haye moved up, why not Afolabi vs Enzo Mac.

I remember him from a couple of years ago as a US based Brit, looks like he's just had 2 and half years out of the ring though

Good find TT - got a tough ask next though.

I saw Francisco Palacios beat Louis Azille, and he looked good at the start and finished the fight well in the 6th, but he also looked a bit shaky in parts of the fight, as if he didn't believe he could win.
