In recent weeks, the Briton has changed a lot in his pro career. He moved to Florida, where he trains under specialist Javan "Sugar" Hill, a coach, including Tyson Fury.

“He sets up the boxer so that he does not hit harder, but first prepares his strong punch. I have a vision of how I want to fight and I'm still developing. Every time someone stands in front of me, he believes that he can defeat me. My goal is to create around myself that aura that Gennady Golovkin once had. I want to create it and keep it for a long time, so that the opponents know that sooner or later I will knock them out, ”continued Okoli.

“David Light will go into the fight very well prepared. He is unbeatable in twenty fights and will certainly be a threat. I, on the other hand, want good fighters to look mediocre against my background, ”added Okoli, who also does not rule out his transition to heavyweight. "It could happen at any moment!"
