Friday Ahunanya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friday Chinedu Ahunanya, born November 19, 1971 in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, is a professional boxer. He is a journeyman heavyweight best known 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 Nate Jones, and he was thought to be a future contender. In 2001 he lost a decision to future titlist Serguei Lyakhovich and in 2004 was blasted out in the 4th by Lance Whitaker. The loss to Whitaker was the beginning of decline for Ahunanya. He went on to lose to Taurus Sykes, draw with Dominick Guinn, and most recently lose to undefeated prospects Sultan Ibragimov and Alexander Povetkin.
