Headlining a Riyadh Season card on March 15th. Actually...happening? Seems so, as of earlier this afternoon per Mike Coppinger. Okolie made his pro debut a month before Klitschko's last pro fight. That was over 7 years ago.
Man, what could Klitschko have left at this point to prove. Maybe he spent the last 7 years taking huge amounts of trt and hgh and has a couple years left. Still no point, and don't wanna see him with anyone that can bang.
Okolie couldn't knock out Klitschko no matter how far past it he was. I, like most others on this forum just simply don't know what Wladamir has left in the tank. One thing is for certain though, win or lose he won't get hurt by Okolie.
The reality is Wlad never took much damage in the ring. Never got properly KO'd, had some flash knockdowns or his corner threw the towel quickly to save him. Then in his dominant title reign he really didn't get hit with any good shots. Tyson Fury didnt even land anything big either. Could be a great 40+ year old fighter.
I saw that post, it did actually look somewhat weirdly believable for a second but it seems to be fake. If it did actually happen though - it would be a guaranteed KO for either fighter, it wouldn't go the distance. Tough to call though ATM as Wlad is almost 50 and is surely super rusty plus his chin wasn't that great either. If it happened in 2018/2019 I would defo have backed Wlad still as he still looked pretty good from the AJ fight in 2017, but its been a genuine while since those days now. I hate Okolie's style but he is fresh, he does hit hard, and he can be effective. I hate to say this but I think Okolie would stop him if they fought soon.
