Lawrence Okolie Explains Why Chisora Deserves a Rematch with Usyk

WBC Silver heavyweight champion Lawrence Okolie (21-1, 16 KOs) believes that Derek Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs) should get a rematch against the undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs) for his milestone 50th career fight.

"In my opinion, Derek gave Usyk more problems than any other British fighter. Maybe Daniel Dubois as well. Chisora deserves another shot at Usyk," said Okolie.

Chisora and Usyk first met in October 2020, where Usyk won by unanimous decision.

On February 8, after defeating Otto Wallin, Chisora presented fans with three potential opponents for his next fight: Daniel Dubois (IBF Champion); Anthony Joshua (Former Unified Champion); Oleksandr Usyk (Undisputed Heavyweight Champion).
