Why is he not fighting Breidis? They wanted a unification fight next, that's what they said after his last fight. This guy lost to Makabu for goodness sakes.
An unification bout with Briedis was in the works until the IBF ordered Briedis to face Jai Opetaia next. The Makabu bout was very competitive and Cieslak would have won if it wasn't for the dubious circumstances around the match.
The last time Okolie had a boring peformance was over 7 fights ago against Askin. Okolie has improved dramatically and become much h more entertaining fighter since being coached by Shane
Good fight when other champions are unavailable or "unavailable". Hopefully it is Egorov vs Goulamirian as co-feature as rumoured. Okolie will beat them all quite easily. Nice to see a sunday fight though.
Very good fight. Cieslak is a very game opponent here and for sure the best fighter Okolie has faced yet. I hope Cieslak prepares well during Covid times and comes with a good gas tank.
