    This looks nailed on for later this year, the two had a minor bust up at the public workout today. Reckon it could land on the Haye-Bellew undercard in December if that PPV materialises.

    Anyway who have you got? I'm a vocal critic of Okolie, I think he's garbage. Isaac ruins him IMO.

    Chamberlain would be too slick, I have not been impressed by Okolie at all so far.

    One is 3-0 and the other 7-0, seems rather early and just my opinion but I don't think Hearn believes Okolie wins this right now, Hearn is talking 6-12 months away.

    I think it's likely to be nearer the 12 months away, one thing I will say is if they are trying to build a fight, create interest this seems like rather a long run up.

    No reason this can't be made this year. Good fight if it does. I'm not that big on Okolie either really

    after seeing Okolie so far, and being there live for Chamberlain/Camacho, i can't go against Chamberlain

    Think they should wait until both have at least 10 fights personally, far too early.

    I don't see how another handful of fights against no hopers will really help either of these two though

    Good little domestic match up this one. Too much emphasis on perfect records for prospects. Would like to see more of this from Hearn it would certainly make his junior ranks more competitive and this could easily headline a NXTGEN show and make it worth the entrance fee.

    I can't see that happening soon.
    2 undefeated Matchroom fighters. No way Hearn will let that happen.

    Both can work on things in the gym/the ring. Opportunity to get more experience in front of big crowds, more time to build a profile for the two of them and more money as it's a bigger fight...

    I don't know man, as a fan it's hard to give a **** about what they get paid or their profile. I don't think 5 more bum fights each makes their fight more enjoyable to watch. Matchroom Twitter account keeps mentioning both of them talking about the fight so I suspect it is nearer rather than farther

    already happened yesterday mate. although i don't think this is fake. they've been having words with each other since before Okolie turned pro after Okolie posted a picture of all the British Cruisers saying hes coming for them
