Okolie: «I Would Like to Face Usyk»

British boxer Lawrence Okolie (19-1, 14 KOs) expressed his desire to face the undisputed heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) Oleksandr Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs).

«If the opportunity presented itself, I would like to meet Usyk. I just don’t think it will happen.

I wouldn’t care who I fought for the title. I just want to know that I became a world champion in three weight categories, to know that I did it. I could retire, look back, and my titles would speak for themselves,» said Okolie.

Lawrence Okolie's next fight will be against Lukasz Rozanski (15-0, 14 KOs) on May 24 for the WBC bridgerweight title (up to 101.6 kg).
