    Maybe European because UK cruiser scene ain’t the best right now

    Gets stopped badly if someone like Usyk, Briedis, Dorticos or Gassiev are champs when/if he gets a shot

    Patiently waiting for that day..

    I'm watching a repeat of the fight last night now.
    Absolutely dreadful...both of them.
    Looks like one of those white collar boxing fights.

    Okolie is about European level both at CW and HW. Clearly he needs to stay at CW for now until he learns his trade

    The fight didnt happen last night alot because of Isaac he went into survival mode/sparring partner mode. If Isaac had thrown and tried to win, we would have at least seen a nice KO highlight.

    British title, at best he challenges for a world title if he bypasses the European title.

    I like Okolie..yes the fight was terrible but he is still new to the pro game...give the man a bit of time.

    I think even British champion is a stretch.

    Lol you got me, i was hyping them both up and yes the fight was awful these boys made me look a mug!!

    But i do hope, and think, that both will improve and get better.

    You also right about the Gassiev fight, it was completely on a diffrent level.

    I think the problem with Chamberlain is he's fell in to the sparring partner mentality a bit, low on confidence, Okolie didn't do much either apart from the manhandling of Chamberlain. You weren't the only one looking a mug lol. I told pals it was a grudge match and was going to be a cracking fight. It was the worst fight I've seen in a while !
