Okolie is the ideal sparring partner. His style reminds me a bit of Wilder and Okolie himself is an awkward tall & skinny guy who can punch.

good coup for fury,okolie swings wildly too though he's not mastered the art much like wilder yet but it gives fury an actual simulation of the style he's facing

Okolie is awkward and fights outside but loves to grab and hold inside to the extreme.

Good choice

Big right hand

Is athletic

And has the height and reach

Good skilled fighter

Wilder lets his shots go inside more though

I wonder if folks that make this repeated lie donso out of ignorance or just plain jealousy. You’ll notice th “wild” punches are thrown once he has his man hurt from a well composed shot or combo. With those “wild” FINISHES one can then say they are the hardest punches in the HW division. When dolts stop making the claim about his wild punches the more educated they become in the art of boxing.

if wilder had lomachenko's style then maybe there something to be jealous about but dude throws haymakers that takes him off his Bambi feet(no hating),but it works so kudos to him but because it works doesn't stop it from being "wild punches"..and if fury ever finds himself in an array of wild swings,of which 99.9% he will then he'll know how to respond due to him sparring a boxer that swings wild punches in okolie that doesn't mean he won't get clipped but it increases his chances of not getting clipped..I like wilder because his knockouts are awesome but we all know and certainly he knows that his power punches are technically incorrect.. which is why they call him " awkward"..bye felicia!

It's hard to replicate a style so unorthodox as Wilders but for many things at times L. does similar things .There's talk that Lawrence once dropped A.J. in sparring but if Tyson thinks this is anything to go by he needs to think again.

Pretty good sparring.

Fury has him and Joyce.

You’d think Joyce is physically stronger than Wilder and Okolie whilst not as quick as Wilder is fairly quick
