Okolie on Bellew Fight: «Never Say Never»

Former world cruiserweight champion (up to 90.7 kg) Lawrence Okolie (19-1, 14 KOs) does not rule out the possibility of facing fellow Brit Tony Bellew (30-3-1, 20 KOs).

«Tony is really a good guy, who catches and counters well, has a very good left hook, and I think he would have done very well against Rozanski, but I’m not sure how he would stylistically match up with me, especially because he is much older now than when he was in his prime.

It’s not a fight I’m particularly looking forward to. I respect Tony, but never say never,» said Okolie.

Okolie's next fight will take place on May 25 against Lukasz Rozanski (15-0, 14 KOs) for the WBC bridgerweight title.
