    Definitely put some dough on Chambo. Good odds. Watch Okolie's fights with Rusiewics and Mendouo and you'll see how open and wild he is. Rusiewics broke his nose I believe.

    Usyk used Chambo to spar for Briedis. That's all you need to know about how good he is technically and he beat Wadi Camacho with a dislocated shoulder so he has proven he has heart and can win a dogfight.

    If Isaac loses this I will be very disappointed in him. If Okolie can knock him out, it's testament to how good his power really is.

    Yeah I have done. 100 returns 250. I think if chamberlain can avoid being ko'd early he'll cruise to a wide points win. He's done 10 rounds okolie only 6 so there are question marks over boths stamina

    A ton bet, you’ve got some bottle mate. If I put a ton bet on and it didn’t come through, there would be no point me going home. I’d be like David Price and she’d be Christian Hammer, folding me like a deckchair.

    Okolie reminds me of Wilder. I think there's substance there. When I hear people slating him it makes me think of him being manhandled in a round by Savon and then going the distance the next time they met. That shows character and intent, despite losing both bouts.

    I haven't been overly impressed with Chamberlain's actual fights. Hearing about him sparring Usyk without seeing the actual footage doesn't carry significantly greater weight than Okolie sparring Joshua given that Usyk's a technique merchant over puncher.

    Realistically, the fight's come about a year too soon for Okolie. I'm not completely sold on him but if he's the type who needs his blood up to perform and his power's an iota as freakish as Wilder's, it's not going to be the death of a hype-job some think it will. At worst I'd imagine Chamberlain steals a cheeky decision but I'm more inclined to think Okolie shuts a few mouthes by stopping him.
