English born, Nigerian boxer Ola Afolabi defeated Enzo Maccarinelli to claim the interim WBO Cruiserweight title on Saturday. Afolabi knocked out the Welsh Maccarinelli in the ninth round of the fight at the MEN Arena in Manchester and increased his record to 14-1-3 with 6KOs. "Kryptonite" as Afolabi is called, unleashed a nasty right hook that caught Maccarinelli and sent him to the canvas in the ninth round. The Welshman beat the count but was unable to continue leading to the stoppage of the fight.
With the win and new title, big things appear to be on the horizon for Afolabi. For those unfamiliar with the new champ, here's an interview with him from Eastside Boxing.
