    That didn't seem like over the top boasting at all, i think he was just using it as an example of the contrast between his life now and his life then. He is obviously proud and deserves to be!

    My pleasure mate. couldnt agree more with you...he could be huge in the UK if he'd taken that route. He's a proud Londoner. Still, every man has his own path in life and I think the future looks very bright for Ola :good

    long before he had many fights I watched this guy spar with Wlad, James Toney (Toney floored him but he was green) Kingsley Ikeke, those two would go at it. Ola is one of the coolest cats you will ever meet I remember watching some ESPN classics with him at Bo's house when our Friend William Palacio was fighting, forgot the name of the fighter mike knocked out but Ola cracked me up saying Mike broke that fools Afro Mullet....
    Funniest cat to be around jokes all friggen day hard worker in the gym I am glad to see him come this far well deserved

    He's based out of Los Angeles and has a German promoter. Pretty hard for him to get recognition in the UK that way. For all intents and purposes, he's either a US fighter or a German fighter.
