He beat a small heavyweight clubfighter in Willie Chapman and added James Walton and Michael Simms to his victims.

The win that put him into the limelight came over undefeated highly touted Golden Gloves champion Eric Fields whom he KO'ed in 2008.

Afolabi subsequently made his national television debut on ESPN's Friday Night Fights, winning a unanimous decision over DeLeon Tinsley.

After his 4th fight with Huck, a 10th round stoppage loss, Afolabi decided to call time and announced his retirement.

In their previous bout, it was a very close fight ending with Huck escaping with a razor-thin majority decision victory.
