One of the worst fight I’ve seen in my life.
B! C! D and even lower, worse than two amateurs, Rubbish not woth the video
Okolie shoud should switch into ballroom dancing. Pathetic “fight”. Hugging like two lovers.
Second hugfest from okolie i remember hearn was so mad he spent so much on promoting british beef and it turned to british p*op before it was even digested and he does it again. He was violently kod in the amateurs and that probaby gave him a wladimir klitschko complex
