His long 6ft 5in frame and speed made the 2016 Olympian a sought-after sparring partner for the world’s top names.
Fury brought Okolie into his camp before fighting Deontay Wilder for the first time in 2018.
And AJ sparred with the WBC bridgerweight champ several times over the years.
Joshua now challenges for the IBF world title on September 21 against Daniel Dubois – with whom Okolie has also shared the ring.
And he named Dubois – along with 19-year-old sensation Moses Itauma – as the two hardest-hitters he has come across.
Okolie, 31, told BoxNation: “I think he’s probably one of the hardest punchers.
Itauma is 9-0 with seven KOs and has been compared to a prime teenage Mike Tyson.
And Okolie tipped the youngster to go all the way in the sport.
He said: “He could be definitely. I feel like it depends on who at his age is coming up right now.
