    Henry Akinwande against Lennox Lewis was disqualified for excessive holding when the referee, had more balls than the ones refereeing Okolipus’ fights with Chamberlain and Askin.

    However, is Okolipus a disqualification waiting to happen? As clearly like Akinwande he is tall, gangly and awkward on the outside but extremely limited and scared on the inside? He uses excessive and illegal holding in order to avoid inside fighting, therefore surely he gets disqualified at some point as he hasn’t learnt his lesson?

    Will Okolipus then get knocked out once he is forced to allow inside work to happen to as Akinwande was against McCall?

    Those are my two career predictions for Okolipus. Also if he wants to maximise his height advantages then he stays at CW and doesn’t move to HW.

    I don’t like Okolie and I’m sure I will never become a fan but he admitted he was horrific after the Askin fight and said he will try to fight in the future so I’m prepared to give him another chance. Two fights now where he should have been DQ’d and if he wasn’t a Joshua and Hearn fighter he would have been given what he deserved.
