Former Undefeated British, Commonwealth and European Cruiserweight Champion Lawrence Okolie will Battle Poland’s Krzysztof Glowacki for the vacant WBO title on March 20.

Lawrence Okolie Wins British And Commonwealth Cruiserweight Titles Cleans Out Division Domestically

Lawrence Okolie (15-0) started boxing in 2010 as a means to lose weight but due to his immense talent quickly became a two-time English University National Champion. Subsequently, he earned a place on Team GB and was a 2016 Olympian. He had a short 26 bout amateur career before turning Professional in 2017.

Okolie has progressed just as fast in the Pro game, headlining the 02 Arena with 9,000+ spectators and beating undefeated prospect Isaac Chamberlain under one year in. He went on to clean out the cruiserweight division domestically over the next 18 months beatings the likes of Wadi Camacho, Matty Askin and Luke Watkins; claiming the British and Commonwealth titles in the process.

He stepped up again in 2019 on the Taylor Prograis PPV Card claiming the European strap in just his fourteenth fight stopping Yves Nagbu. Four Months earlier, Krzysztof Glowacki controversially lost his belt to Mairis Briedis and was offered another chance at the belt as a result. With Briedis contracted to box Yuniel Dorticos, Glowacki was ordered to fight WBO #2 Lawrence Okolie.

Okolie vs Glowacki was supposed to be co-main to Joshua-Pulev but Glowacki tested positive for Covid meaning that fight was postponed to March 20 and Okolie had a first-round KO on the Joshua Pulev card. Glowacki is a very experienced fighter who rose to stardom when he upset long-time champion, Marco Huck.

Glowacki has losses to Usyk and Briedis and if Okolie beats him on March 20 he will establish himself as a top 5 Cruiserweight and in that Briedis, Makabu, Goulamirian mix. Okolie vs Glowacki is the opportunity for Okolie to prove himself and impress as Okolie has been far from entertaining on previous occasions, albeit effective.
