Lawrence Okolie Dominates Hussein Muhamed to Win WBC Silver Title

On December 7, at Wembley Stadium in London, UK, a bout for the vacant WBC Silver heavyweight title (over 90.7 kg) took place between Britain's Lawrence Okolie (21-1, 16 KOs) and Germany's Hussein Muhamed (18-2, 14 KOs).

The fight concluded in the first round. Okolie delivered a powerful punch that sent Muhamed to the canvas. Although the German fighter rose to his feet, the referee halted the bout—TKO 1. This marked Lawrence's debut in the heavyweight division.

In May, Okolie defeated Lukasz Rozanski via first-round technical knockout. In the same month, Muhamed secured a unanimous decision victory over Ali Kiydin.
