    They may be admiring the silky skills of David Adeleye or Solomon Dacres instead as apparently Warren is not cancelling the event and is looking for a British replacement.

    I had saw a video of him on Instagram where he didn't say anything, and didn't apologize for anything while at the same time apologizing and vowing to clear his name......................it was so vague I was like there could only be one thing this is about.....................and it was :facepalm::lol:

    Riakporhe and Okolie suddenly gained 30-50 lb when they moved up to HW...

    That's not suspicious at all, is it?

    Lol errr the both gained it in very different ways ...


    Riakporhe looks like a genetic monster. Okolie is just fat.

    Okolie looks like he is at his normal weight when he doesn't diet.

    It's a shame the fight was cancelled, they should have found a replacement and Joshua would have been great for that...

    FFS man. Although, considering how boring Okolie is, might be a blessing in disguise.

    Would be cool if Warren can get Joyce in on short notice. He needs to do something as he hasn't fought for over a year and has nothing scheduled. A rematch of the 2016 Rio final. It's 2-1 to Yoka overall from the amateurs. I think it would be a pretty even, and interesting fight.

    Good call on Okolie being boring.

    I mean, it's standard knowledge, haha. Imagine a 4-man tournament between the likes of Okolie, Parker, Hrgovic and Wallin. They should put it on late at night to help people with insomnia. :p

    Great idea
