Olawale "Kryptonite" Afolabi officially retires.

Only took Ola a month to get fat. Like, fat. Guessing he's about 245lb now.

He is happily enjoying retirement, per his social media posts. :good

So anybody expecting that he will change his mind, give up the ghost. (although he did once shed 47lbs on four weeks' notice to knock out previously unbeaten prospect Eric Fields, but that was eight years ago... :think)

 

:good

Probably the 2nd best chin of his generation, after Fenix Ruiz.

 

Dropping a female relative off at the airport earlier tonight:

hitit ...the sister/cousin/whatever, not Ola's fat ass )

 

Ola has announced on social media that he was offered a world title bout for big money and is planning to accept the opportunity and go into training camp in December.

He won't divulge exactly whom the offer came from until the contracts are finalized.

Usyk (WBO)? Bellew (WBC)? Lebedev (WBA full/IBF)? Shumenov (WBA interim)?

Which of these jerks is baiting this happy retiree away from the buffet table and into the ring to milk a cheap "low risk but high name value" defense?

The only guy there I dislike is Bellew, so hopefully it was him - but at the same time hopefully not because he especially doesn't really deserve a W over Afolabi on his résumé.

 

I was optimistic when he started eating like a pygmy shrew...but, alas, the almighty dollar and its siren call... (not to mention, a belt without having to queue up...)
