Okolie Dominates and Becomes Two-Weight World Champion
Kosport Magazine brings you the latest news in the world of sports. And this time, it’s all about British boxer Lawrence Okolie. The WBO cruiserweight world champion traveled to Poland to prove a point and that’s exactly what he did. Facing off against Pole Lukasz Rozanski in his hometown of Rzeszow, Okolie showcased his dominance and power.
In just the opening round, Okolie produced three heavy knockdowns, all thanks to his powerful right hand. The fight was over in just 2 minutes and 55 seconds, with Okolie being declared the new WBC bridgerweight boss.
While this may not be the most renowned title, Okolie and his trainer Joe Gallagher have big plans for it. They see it as a stepping stone towards the ultimate goal – becoming heavyweight champion of the world.
Kosport Magazine’s Take
When asked about a potential move to heavyweight, Gallagher mentioned that they first want to focus on unifying the bridgerweight title. And with WBA titleholder Evgeny Tishchenko as their target, they have their sights set on a unification fight.
But Gallagher also pointed out that Okolie is already weighing in similarly to top heavyweight fighters like Deontay Wilder and undisputed champion Oleksandr Usyk. This makes it a natural progression for Okolie to move up to the heavyweight division after unifying the bridgerweight titles.
So, while the move to heavyweight seems inevitable for Okolie, he and Gallagher are taking things one step at a time and making the most of the bridgerweight division. As always, Kosport Magazine will be there to bring you all the updates on Okolie’s journey to the top of the boxing world. Stay tuned!
