    Their beef is so bad that they want to fight soon to sort out their differences in the ring.

    Okolie will fight in a tune-up prior to this fight. Okolie has faced six journeyman type of opponents and looks to fight one more until the end of the year. Okolie's best opponent to date is Blaise Mendouo, he struggled against Blaise. Chamberlain is expected to feature on the December card alongside Okolie. Chamberlain has sparred Joshua and has shown good movement and speed but no power in that sparring session. Okolie, on the other hand, dropped Joshua. Chamberlain so far has had 9 fights and his best opponent is Wadi Camacho. He looks more skilled out of the two but his power isn't great. Chamberlain has sparred with Joshua more than Okolie has, so this will help him as well.

    Prediction: This is speed against power match up. Okolie has a vulnerable chin but has hand speed and power advantage. If Chamberlain uses his head movement, work rate and foot speed he can win. This is tough to predict but Okolie has lethal power. Although Chamberlain has never been dropped and wasn't dropped even by a big puncher like Joshua in their sparring sessions, I still have to go with Okolie. But Okolie isn't no world beater. He will fall apart once puncher with a good skill set, chin and power faces him just like he did against Savon.


    Whyte is also on the card.

    Who wins and how?

    Chamberlain should school him badly

    Chamberlain is a level or two above Okolie skill wise, this could be a huge misstep. Chamberlain UD or late stoppage.

    I like Chamberlain, cool guy who's got his head screwed on. I'd hope he wins this one.

    Okolie is awful but seems to have some power

    I see Chamberlain schooling him easily.

    None have been twelve rounds before so wonder how many it will be scheduled for

    Eddie Hearn hates this fight, if it was up to him they would have 15 more fights each against burger squad members and finally have the fight in 2021 on PPV
