    1. Whyte
    2. Joyce
    3. Wardley

    He's mentioned that he'd welcome fights against any of these guys in 2025. Since he's with Queensberry now, I could easily see the Joyce and Wardley fights happening. Him and Whyte have some history obviously.

    I think he would get stopped by all of them TBH.

    Joyce and Whyte are both too powerful, technical and experienced for Okolie. Gaining 60 pounds will not aid Okolie's speed one bit plus his suspect chin.

    Wardley would knock out Okolie inside 3 rounds.

    Hughie Fury would be a good fight for Okolie and I think Hughie would probably outpoint him too.

    You have spoken for me. Find more obscure Middle Eastern punching bags and he will be all right.

    I think he is a much better boxer than many give him credit for. Yeah, he's dull, safety first, but keys give the kid a chance at the new weight. I think he has much more skill than Whyte who has been historically overrated by many, at this point he likely outpoints Joyce in a really boring fight abd Wardley has become hugely overrated after banging out a fighter he went life and death with last time, and big Fraze was never all that...I suspect Okolie is a better boxer than them all but may be a significantly worse fighter...and this might be his undoing. But. I'd not be suprosed if he beat all those names....

    If his current weight gain trajectory continues he should be 300 lbs for his next fight.

    I'm here for it

    Wardley would put a dent in his head just like he did to Frazer Clarke; both Joyce and Whyte however are probably shot so maybe his Okoliepus routine could work on them (less so Joyce, more so Whyte.)

    Whyte- Okolie WTKO10
    Joyce- Okolie LKO10
    Wardley- Okolie LKO5

    Okolie is barely above British level.

    He would beat Joyce now. Joe is too easy to hit too slow and the chin has been cracked.
    Whyte is another one easy to hit, but he's a bit more experienced has more than 1 way to fight so he might get through the rounds so unless Okolie who looked awful physically gasses then i'd lean towards and Okolie win. But Whyte poses a threat it's just he might not have much left.
    Wardley destroys him. If Okolie want's to start hugging that's all very well but Warldy has pop in both hands put them together well and it's a dangerous man who tried to hug someone on the roll he is.

    He can beat Whyte and even Joyce, but Wardley would knock him out...
