Boxing News: Cruiserweight Title Fight Added
Due to Oleksandr Usyk progressing into the heavyweight division, the cruiserweight title that he held have now become vacant. However, one of those titles will be on the line during the undercard of the Anthony Joshua bout on December 12th. It has been revealed that Lawrence Okolio will get his long awaited shot at the WBO title as he comes up against Krzysztof Glowacki.
Okolio has impressed throughout his career, as he has won all 14 bouts that he has been involved in as a professional. He has won eleven of these by knockouts, and is quickly becoming one of the standout names in the world of boxing. The British fighter recent caught the headlines after a stunning victory against Yves Ngabu over 12 months ago. That capped a remarkable year for the Brit, as he won all four fights that he was involved in by knockout.
Boxing News: Huge Challenge For Okolio
However, make no mistake about it, Okolio will have a huge challenge on his hand when it comes to this fight, as Glowacki is one of the most talented cruiserweights in the world. The Polish fighter suffered his first defeat against Usyk, before he was beaten by Mairis Briedis on 2019 for only his second professional defeat.
You only need to study his professional record to understand his talent, as he has won 31 from 33 fights, and has won 19 of these by knockout. The veteran will be a completely different opponent for the British fighter, but it will certainly be a challenge that Okolio will be looking forward to. It will be a fight that all fans will be anxious to see on what is expected to be one of the biggest boxing nights of the year in December.
