WBO cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie has had some nice things to say about Jake Paul.

On October 29, at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, Jake Paul overcame MMA legend Anderson Silva, probably the biggest victory of his boxing career.

However, still after having 6-0 winning streak, Paul is not regarded as the real boxer by many
