Briton wants another shot at WBO champion
Interim world cruiserweight champion Ola Afolabi wants
another fight with WBO title holder Marco Huck after the two shared another
twelve rounds on May 5th in Erfurt, Germany on the back of a first bout in
2009.
Afolabi, 32, believes he has now won both contests with
long-time champion Huck, who was awarded the first fight in Ludwigsburg and
given a draw with the US-based Brit in the second earlier this month.
“I'm looking to fight Huck again, but he and his promoter
says he won't be fighting until October,” Afolabi told World Boxing News.
“In the meantime, I like to remain active and will have a
fight before then. I would have no hesitation signing on for the October fight,
that’s if they man up and dance with me again. I don't see why we shouldn't do
it again. I'm still interim champion and mandatory as we both kept our belts.
Asked if a possible opponent for his next bout could be BJ
Flores, who was offered the chance to fight Afolabi in March only to ask for more
time, Afolabi replied: BJ who? I take no time thinking about fantasy/comic
book characters.
“I'm looking to fight real fighters, not those that took a
page out of David Haye’s book and fake/trash talk themselves to a shot at a
title they don't deserve.”
