      @@nobullshit8898 agreed with all of that, but even with all that BS, he’d have probably fought on decent cards, maybe even Saudi money. He’s going back to the leisure centre with Ben.

      Yep, it was an idiotic decision. Going to boxxer to defend your title away from home was a ridiculous choice.

    I'm guessing he's spent all money, might be wrong but so many fighters end up skint then look for money fights......................my guess is Hearn was pleased to offload him.

    This guy had it made!! Made it of money in a chumps fight v Chamberlain!!; Hearn made him a lot of money for a fighter with limited ability!! Enough to emigrate to Dubai!!
    Now going for the ultra prestigious Bridgerweight title

    Hopefully the fight with the polish fella is on late so I can tune in just in time for bed....I say that as someone who thinks Shakur Stevenson is a great fighter & not dull to watch btw...just goes to show how annoying Okolie is to watch. Hope he changes but won't hold my breath

      Nope, he has a whole bunch of people perplexed with the decline in his in ring performances.
      He has people perplexed with his choices to change trainers repeatedly given he looks worse since leaving McGuigan.
      He has people perplexed given that he's become so inactive since his wise move to Boxxer.
      He has people perplexed that he spent 12 rounds hugging CBS.
      He has people perplexed that despite having a rematch clause he has been frozen out at Cruiserweight.
      He has people perplexed that despite the current buzz at Heavyweight he's happy to drag his heels at Bridgeweight rather than get in the mix.
      He has people perplexed that he is moving to a dead division that nobody cares about despite the little buzz that the Cruiserweight division has right now.
      The guy has made repeated bad decisions.........and people are just perplexed as they seem to continue.

    I find Okolie a genuinely boring character. He just seems inauthentic and uninteresting and lacks any personality. How he presents is an extension of how he boxes. It’s dull
