He asking to be ranked lol

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.

Probably the WBC will rank him somewhere in the top 15 on the basis of being their champion at the made up weight, but I doubt any other orgs will.

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.

Technically he’s fought above 200, which is above the HW limit for the other orgs. They could rank him.

The 2 weight world champ btw

I’d guess WBC and WBO will rank him, just given his past. He probably just deserves a rank to be honest.

Give him chisora as a tester…

okole at 240 will be a bit of a handful for anyone and everyone in the division to be honest.

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

Just imagine the headlines:

they would hug each other so much one would jiz

Think he will do okay - the true heavyweights aren't great.

I'm waiting to see Jai step up.

My guess is he is protected and used as a voluntary defence as he will be seen to be easy pickings.

I dont see how he beats anyone decent if he's not allowed to clinch all the time. Eve then his advantages in size will be mostly gone.

I wonder what he'll weigh, he must be 230 at that height.

Signed for Frank, he must be mad thinking he'd make money from him

Okolie could be in some fun fights. I guess it depends how Frank sees him. He could see him as an opponent for his existing stable or he could see him as being someone tough to beat so is worth having.

Style wise I think Okolie will be better under Gallagher. Fights against people like Joyce, Zhang, Itauma, Wardley, and that’s not even the top tier, could all be interesting.

He’s already number 5 at heavyweight with the WBC so conceivably could be a couple of wins away from being mandatory.

Don't think that sentence has ever been uttered before. He's the most boring fighter on the planet
