But he wants a crack at him next!

Steve 'USS' Cunningham has been vocal about his support towards Enzo Maccarinelli as he's set to face Ola Afolabi this Saturday in Manchester, England. Cunningham is still yearning for a bout with Maccarinelli in England but hopes it can be for a title belt.

"Man, I'm disappointed that I didn't get to fight Enzo on the fourteenth. It would have been a great fight. I
really want to fight in England, the fans there are awesome, just like the Polish fans, they're so enthusiastic.

That aside, this is going to be a real banger of a fight. Ola (Afolabi) is an underrated talent. I don't think this will be as easy as Enzo thinks.. Word is Ola can really battle, he's no walk over. No disrespect to Ola, I'm hoping that Enzo wins though, so he gets a shot at Victor (Emilio Ramirez - Current WBO Champ).

The contracts for the IBF World Cruiserweight Title eliminator bout between Steve ‘USS' Cunningham and Wayne ‘Big Truck' Braithwaite have been signed and the fight will take place in St Louis, Missouri sometime in the very near future. The winner earns the right to face current IBF Champion Tomasz ‘Goral' Adamek later in 2009.
