Okolie’s injury forces retire, Riakporhe seeks replacement

Lawrence Okolie has taken its heavy struggle against Richard Riakporhe with a April 5 card injury to Dazn at the Live Arena co-op in Manchester, England. The promoters of the Riakporhe cruise (17-1, 13 ko) are left to search to fight a replacement with less than a month.

Spare hunting

The Ring reports that the 32 -year -old Okole was a training for combat with Riakporhe. There are obviously many heavy weights that can intervene to fill the place, but many of them would come to Riakporhe, which is not ideal for their promoters.

If not too late, event promoters should use Riakporhe as opponent Joe Joyce To the main event. They already have it Philip Hrgovic As a opponent of Joyce, but this is a terrible game for “The Juggernaut”. Hrgovic has too many talent.

Riakporhe is Joyce’s more ally and would give him a better chance of winning. If the idea is to reconstruct Joyce, using Hrgovic is the wrong direction. I wouldn’t do it if it were your promoter.

Surrounding limits

Okolie’s career seems to go nowhere. Has not been cut off by heavy weight division. When he melted towards the cruise weight to fight much smaller boys, he was in the ideal situation to succeed due to his size in a historically weak division. But now that Okolie is a heavy weight, his professional situation seems further.

Even with his careful fuel for him for his promoter, he is not hitting anyone well, and he is likely to melt if he is putting a decent heavy weight. 32 It is not old, but Okolie does not have enough time to become a fighter capable of competing with the lions of the division. Their beating at Cruiserweight for Chris Billiam-Smith In 2023 he showed his limitations as a fighter.

Okolie should forget to fight heavy weight and return to Cruiserweight. You cannot connect Okolie with anyone worth your heavyweight salt and wait for victorious to come out. It is too clumsy and not coordinated.
