    What do you think is the highest level Okolie could reach? British title? Maybe a world title?

    He won't move past British level, he also has a Glass Jaw.

    He's like a worse version of Dorticos - worse skill, worse power, worse chin. So would be very lucky to ever get a belt.

    he will get past british level
    but obviously is not good enough to get a world title belt

    he is awkward and fit and stong though/ just he fights so ugly would i want to watch many of his fights again.

    He's extremely bad with decent power. I saw no boxing from him tonight. I'd fancy him to be guided to the world scene within a year where he's exposed in a fight where he can't win on physicality alone.

    Okolie was poor. Chamberlain was worse.

    Hard to gauge but he didn't make much of a statement tonight.

    I'd imagine he'll be looking at the ceiling plenty once he steps up in class.
