Emanuele della rosa WNC International Light mid champ would be my choice but i'm sure you have many domestic fighters like Steve O'meara, Joe Selkirk etc. Please say who and why?

Grady Brewer , Known over here due to the contender series so offers name value but very inconsisten and has regressed , would be a nice step up for Ochieng without being a walkover .

Probably wouldnt come cheap though and is maybe a bigger step up than is currently being looked for .

What id like to seeis Ochieng vs Al Harbi but cant imagine it for some reason

Somehow I cannot see F.... W..... letting these guys box on Matchroom shows also a question if Selkirk could make 11 stone

I think it should b between nasser al harbi or jamie ball, fought an eliminator draw due to a cut both lads r deserving of a shot.

sure, I'd imagine coming over to England as the opponent is right at the top of De La Rosa's to-do list

put Ochieng in with Max maxwell, I say.

Got offered accepted without even asking the cash ,then made better sense to fight aa lowe instead?

Ready and waiting if needed no notice needed.

Mark Thompson or Adnan Amar would be a good step up

Hall would be a big step up in opposition for Ochieng. Hall would be a good opponent.

Not that big off a step up but better than Lowe and Toms and with the British tied up till Feb March then it's a decent fight i'd rather it be Thompson tho

Why would a fighter not want to defend the English title three times?

Ochieng should defend the English title against Hall, Thompson, O'Donnell, Selkirk or O'Meara. They are all a step up for Ochieng.
