6 on boxrec 8th on Ring rankings .. very solid opponent,

Solid opponent for a voluntary. Goulimarin vs Egorov will likely be on the undercard too.

I think the Matty Askin fight may have been the low-water mark for me with Okolie. For a while his fights were dreadful to watch. Alot of sloppiness, wrestling and then an overmatched opponent would get caught with something and dropped/stopped.

His style has improved a lot which is good because I want to like Okolie as a fighter. On a side note, I have to say that I am really impressed with Shane McGuigan as a trainer. Almost every fighter I've seen him partner with seems to improve.

Best trainer in this country by a mile for me. Had Frampton and Taylor from debut and took them all the way. Revitalised Groves and has definitely improved Okolie. Excited to see what he does with Dubois too.

Yeah by the sounds of things Barry was robbing Frampton blind. Shane does distance himself from his Barry in regards to his coaching career. Don’t mix business with personal.

Cieslak's only loss is to Makabu who was really on that night. Solid fight. He may check Okolie's chin.

I thought he was moving up to Heavyweight?

[Zonkmeister]

Good fight. Gonna follow it. Okolie did do a number on Glowacki, but Glowacki's has had considerable wear and tear at this point. Cieślak's a killer. If he can deal with Okolie's length then it's going to be an awesome fight.

Okolie isn't terrible to watch any more. The Polish guy he fought on the Joshua-Pulev undercard looked like he was getting electrocuted when Okolie would land anything big. Lol made me almost forgive all the hugging.

Electrocuted is a great word. Add a few Ws and Zs on the end and it could be another Polish fighter

[JuanSkinner]

Good opponent. I think Okolie does a number in 5
