    Yes, it is, I think his height, reach and power helped him more than everything else.

    Your talking out of your arse.

    Okolie has only recently turned pro, both his fights have been against opponents with losing records. Hearn said after Okolie's last fight that he won't be rushed as he only had around 20 fights in the amateurs, so needs to learn his trade.

    Luke Campbell is nearly 30 years old and was fast tracked as he's the most successful amateur to ever come through the GB amateur system and was coming off the back of an Olympic gold medal win.

    Think before you type.

    Okolie will be fast tracked, Hearn doesn't say truth all the time, haha.
    Luke Campbell was rushed and still is being rushed he has fought only in 17 fights as a pro and will fight for the title soon, so who is not fast tracked?

    Look what happened to Tommy Langford against Khurtsidze, he was thrown under the bus in his 18 fight.I really hope Hearn does better than Warren did with Langford and is patient with Okolie, no need to rush.

    Well, he clearly was rushed.He has a bad trainer as well.If you have a proper trainer and you are not rushed you can become good.

    Egorov is made of stone, Okolie is like Bambi on Ice when he gets hit haha It's like comparing Povetkin to Audley Harrison

    It's funny how that video of Savon knocking out Okolie in about 30 seconds has totally disapeared out of sight from the whole internet! Eddie Hearn has done his job haha.

    Okolie looks really impressive. Great size, speed, and power. He's got all the physical tools, if he can develop his skill set he's gonna be a ****ing problem for a long time.

    The weirdest thing about him is that he is copying Joshua's style
