Okolie is already assessing what could be next for him if he emerges victorious on Sunday night.

He told The Ring: “Oleksandr Usyk didn’t want to fight Fabio Wardley for whatever reason so he becomes the champion.

“It’s a fight that will be spoken about behind the scenes, but I do want that one. I think Fabio is a much easier fight than Usyk will be.

“I watch him stylistically, I think he’s very, very exciting and dangerous. However, he’s got holes that kind of match up well with my style.

“For example, if you watch his fight against [Justis] Huni or his fight against Parker, these guys are maybe 6 foot 3 inches, with shorter limbs who are good combination punchers.

“But I just think a longer, more explosive puncher is going to be able to capitalise on his mistakes a little bit better before he gets off his rallies because his rallies are world class.

“When he starts touching fighters and getting into the mode and the crowd starts screaming, he’s fantastic and he’ll be a handful for anyone.

“But I think before he gets to that point, if you’re able to kind of execute your own game plan, I think it will be a pretty basic night.”
