    Good move from Fury. He’s the closest thing you’re getting to wilder. Awkward and gangly.

    lol, for real?

    Wilder actively aims to separate a man from his senses, not jump into a clinch to avoid getting hit literally every 30 seconds.

    Quite a bad sign IMO if that's the nearest he's getting to simulating Wilder's style.

    I think he will be under strict instructions not to hold. Who else would you recommend?

    To be fair, if he followed that I can see the logic....

    I totally get this after listening to him on the JRE, Tyson is just the type of guy who could do with a good 36 minutes of hugging.

    Joe Joyce will climb on Okolie's back and form a hybrid fighter, just as the Bronze Bomber has done with Deontay Wilder. Joelawr Okeloyce will then have the combination of bizarre gangly movement and shattering power that will allow Fury to perfect his fight strategy. At the end of camp an exorcism will be perfomed by Big John to separate the two once again.

    People even hate on his choice of sparring partners. Get a life!

    Excellent pick for both really. Physically that’s the closest you’re likely to get to Wilder...I think it’ll do Okolie good to spar someone who will make him pay for falling in after a shot.

    When Fury loses I'm having money on Hearn getting blamed.

    I can hear it now.. "Okolie was suppose to preparing Fury for Wilder not injuring him, this has Hearn written all over it.."

    Fury is knocking wilder out
    And I don't pick fury to knock out many heavyweights but wilder is one

    Apart from being tall, black and having long arms they couldn't be more apart as fighters.

    Fury probably just needs a hug from him now and then, for moral support mainly.

    Exactly lol. It's good sparring for Fury and Okolie might learn a thing or 2 from it.
