[1] He is a journeyman heavyweight, best known for beating several undefeated prospects and for his appearances on ESPN fight cards.
Known as Friday "The 13th," Ahunanya began his career in 1998 with a good deal of promise, winning his first 16 fights including a victory over undefeated (16-0-1) Nate Jones.
He went on to lose to Taurus Sykes in New Mexico, who was not highly regarded in spite of his 22-1-1 record in 2005, arguably the low point of his career.
In 2007 he rebounded by handing 19-0 New Zealand prospect Shane Cameron his first loss by knocking him down twice in the 12th and final round.
After the second knockdown, the referee intervened and stopped the contest, earning Ahunanya a TKO victory.
