Lawrence Okolie was injured at Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester, England, and was injured from a DAZN card on April 5 and exited a heavyweight battle with Richard Riakporhe. Now, the sponsors of the lightweight riakporhe (17-1, 13 KO) are now scrambling to fight the replacement in less than a month’s notice.
Replace hunting
The 32-year-old Okole had an injury training match with Riakporhe, the ring reported. Obviously there are a lot of heavyweights who can step in to fill the scene, but many of them will beat Riakporhe, which is not ideal for his promoters.
If it’s not too late, the sponsor of the event should use Riakporhe as an opponent Joe Joyce In the main activities. They already have it Filip Hrgovic As Joyce’s opponent, but this is a terrible showdown of “Sword Saint”. Hrgovic has too many talents.
Riakporhe is an ally of Joyce, which will give him a better chance of winning. If the idea is to rebuild Joyce, using HRGovic is the wrong direction. If I were his sponsor, I wouldn’t have done it.
Restrictions around
Okolie’s career looks like it’s everywhere. He did not participate in the heavyweight division. When he melted into a small amount of quantum to fight with smaller people, he was in an ideal state because of his scale advantage in the weak divisions in history. But now, Okolie is a heavyweight, and his career situation looks far from popular.
Even if his promoters docked him carefully, he didn’t beat anyone, and if he had put a decent heavyweight, he would probably collapse. The 32 is not old, but Okolie doesn’t have enough time to develop into a fighter that can compete with the division’s Lion. He defeated CruiserGeight Chris Billiam-Smith In 2023, his limitations as a fighter.
Okolie should forget about heavyweight combat and then heavyweight. You can’t insert Okolie with anyone worthy of heavyweight salt and hope he can win. He is too clumsy and inconsistent.
