    The hugs will go well with the happy meal. Do you think he puts sauce in his burgers?

    The lad will end up a millionaire and quite possibly a world champion so I don’t think he does.

    His post fight interview was completely devoid of any self-awareness of just how awful he is to watch. Said it in the RBR when he eventually gets his world title shot it won’t be the main event.

    I can't stand watching him, I can't help thinking that if he was a Ginger northerner who worked in a warehouse and then forged a boxing career for himself there wouldn't be half as much hype, people love buying into this fairytale that Matchroom have partly created. I'll admit his story isn't a bad one but as far as his ability goes, he's a brutal highlight reel KO waiting to happen.

    He'll likely never be a superstar but world title fights on undercards of ppv's Isn't something i'd turn down to go back to flipping burgers to be fair!

    Every time I watch him I doze off, he's very unlikeable in and out the ring.

    I stopped watching Okolie after the Askin fight. He should have been disqualified from that fight for constant holding

    I stopped watching Hughie Fury after the Parker fight. The constant running and unwillingness to engage should have resulted in points deductions from the referee that night.

    no lol I highly doubt he becomes a millionaire. He's not good enough, and he doesn't have the chin to beat the best cruiserweights in the world. Plus if you aren't elite you need to be exciting to watch, I don't think Lee Selby, Terry Flanagan, and Hughie Fury will have earned much!
