Okolie moves to heavyweight

[JamesPhilips]

Okolie v Hughie Fury. Fight of the century written all over it.

This would be a draw

classic. As long as I don't have to watch it

Unfortunately I would actually watch it just out of interest. Hughie’s suddenly got more aggressive recently

[cormack]

Wardley v Okolie.

Winner gets a final eliminator I reckon.

wardley streets ahead of okolie

[JamesPhilips]

so shlong lost his world superstar ?

Two weight world champ, looking to make HISTORY! No one has ever won cruiser / bridger / heavy - THREE TIMES BABY!

(In fact Okolie already made history by being the first ex cruiser champ to move up and win the bridger title… his name’s in the history books written in stone and no one can take that away from him!!)

He is aggressive if nothing is coming back at him, wait until someone puts it on him and it will be like the Parker fight all over again.

[Twinkle Toes]

Okolie is a strong on the offensive when his mind is set, but he's proven time and time again when he's not in that mindest, he clutches and grabs his way to victory.

I suspect that he will be even worse at the higher weight, but hope that's not the case.

[skanksta]

I'd be surprised if he can beat a legit top 10 guy. He might even struggle with some 10-20 guys but he could crush some cans to get himself ranked there. It's incredibly entitled of him to think he should be top 5 without a fight scheduled let alone won.

Would he beat Chisora? Ajagba? Wallin? Hrgovic? Gassiev? Huni? Jalolov? Sanchez? Whyte? Ruiz? Torrez? Hunter? Whyte? Joyce? Wardley? Clarke? Anderson? Miller? Vianello? Pulev? Hughie? His performance against Billam-Smith suggests he would struggle with many of them.

Should write these out in a poll/quiz..!

TBF a Unified Cruiser champ with BW belt should probably be Top 15 shouldn't he ? 15th anyway would seem reasonable.
He'd be something like 50/50 against the average of the lot.

[margaret thatcher]

okolie wasnt a unified cruiser champ

he should be able to at least hover around the top 25 at hw, dont think he'll be one to especially challenge the best guys but lets see

Okolie lost the belt before moving up so he's not a Usyk or Haye moving up. I'd favour Gassiev, the former Cruiserweight champ, over Okolie at Heavyweight too. If he can do it then fine but he has to beat some opponents first.

Wasn't he ? thanks
Still a CW belt holder of a few defences - what HW rank would you give him ?

I'd fancy Okolie MORE vs Gass @ HW than @ CW.
He's got the height to go up for sure...

Okollie Vs Wardley would make sense i think. Good fight for the british title and probably a wbc eliminator.

[SeanBrennan]

I wish him luck, it must be crap to be a contender with a truly boring style. If Frazer Clarke loses, I can see that being made.

I get it, I think I have watched him in some decent fights, I can't remember though as his boring ones overshadow them

that and my memory is rubbish

I'd watch that and it's very makeable now with FW

okolie brings nothing to the table in that match up for fabio .

If anyone can make an Okolie fight interesting, it might be Fabio.

Dhalsim was a well known 90s video game character with ridiculously long arms, more childish than pervy.

Street fighter.

I Didn’t like him

[Bigdogsnose]

Wants to hug some bigger fellas, bit more meat on the bones

[jameswilson]

I think he will have to change the tactics at heavyweight.

At cruiser he outsized everyone so his holding wore the opponents down. At heavyweight hugging someone like Kubrat Pulev will have the opposite effect. Pulev will walk him back no problems in the clinches. Let alone the guys even bigger than Pulev.
