LO's needs to keep progressing before talk of a World title. If he beat's Massey(as expected) then he's just one notch away from a Lonsdale belt out-right, so a match up with the winner of the up coming Riakporhe/Billam Smith gives him that oppertunity. There's also EBU champion Yves Ngabu which if it was to happen in mainland Europe would also give him some pro experience of fighting abroad.

hes got probably world level power but little else, he should keep learning, getting the experience which will serve him well before making that huge jump.

Okolie is a good guy.

He’s very willing to find his level very quickly.

That should be the point of the game but it really isn’t.

He gets criticism but he steps it up. I don’t think he thinks he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread but he puts himself out there

If Okolie's going to try be a Wilder type fighter and rely purely on single shot power then he's going to have to work a lot on his timing to avoid getting tangled up in untidy clinches all of the time. I give Wilder a lot of stick on here about being a 1 trick pony with no basic boxing skills, but the one thing he has that compliments his power is good timing with his big shots.

The worst fighter to watch in boxing? It used to be Sam Soliman.
