    Do they draw their rankings from a hat?

    Okolies been talking about facing Kabayel. They might be trying to set it up, although Kabayel should realistically demolish Lawrence

    Thankfully the WBC rankings mean **** all because they never enforce their mandatories.

    Frank Warren has done a terrific job to position his fighters for rankings. Wardley will challenge for the WBA belt. Itauma is the number one ranked contender with the WBO. Okolie will probably challenge Kabayel when he gets upgraded to the full status. It isn't one of the realms of possibility to see Queensberry to have complete control over the heavyweight division. It is interesting to see Ol' Fish Eyes' accession as the number one promoter in the world at the twilight of his career.

    Ol' Fish Eyes is as crooked as they come, but I have to admit he does a great job of promoting his fighters.

    Kabayel destroys the body, Okolie has made his body much fatter, it's not a good sign for him

    Someone got to pay for Kabayel not getting a title shot next.

    Okolie clinching against Kabayel would genuinely be suicide. Kabayel would land hook after hook to his body. Would be a fairly short night's work.

    Don't tell me they might actually be fighting each other though.
