    Purse bid has been cancelled by the promoters. Fight is signed for May 5th in Erfurt, Germany.

    The WBO Cruiserweight title will be on the line.


    How do you see the rematch going on? Both fighters have certainly improved since their first meeting.

    Impressed with Afolabi lately. He's fun to watch, but I think Huck will win a close UD as well.

    Respect to Huck for fighting again so quickly and keeping busy after his loss to Povetkin.

    Afolabi looked good in his last outing. If he doesn't get robbed, as is standard operating procedure in Germany, I'm going with Afolabi UD at this point. Huck fights like an Ape.

    Huck had a fight on his hands against Ola when both were on a win streak.

    So with Huck coming off a loss, and Ola on a streak, it will be interesting to see this one play out to say the least.

    Huck may be coming off a loss, but it wasn't a crushing loss. I don't think it shattered his confidence, anyways.

    yeah Huck hate on here is ridiculous.

    I have Huck UD btw. I think it is a bad style matchup for Afolabi. I think he will have a hard time creating own offensive actions against Huck (like the first time around). Huck will miss a lot but in the end will get more shots in and win the majority of rounds (7-5 or 8-4)

    Huck should win a close fight. This will be a good fight IMO. Afolabi is well improved, but Huck is also better than a few years ago.
