Lawrence Okolie (born 16 December 1992) is a British professional boxer. He has held the WBO cruiserweight title since 2021. At regional level, he held the Commonwealth title twice between 2018 and 2019; the British title from 2018 to 2019; and the European title in 2019. • As of July 2022, he is ranked as the world's second best active cruiserweight by The Ring magazine third by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board and BoxRec. He is known for his long reach, accurate jab and punching power. • WBO cruiserweight champion • Okolie vs. Jeżewski, Głowacki • At the WBO federation convention in Tokyo in December 2019, it was decided that the Polish former two-time cruiserweight champion Krzysztof Głowacki would face Okolie for the vacant WBO cruiserweight title, and a bout between them was ordered. They had been scheduled to face each other on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Kubrat Pulev on 12 December 2020, but the fight was postponed when Głowacki tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, Okolie instead faced Nikodem Jeżewski, also from Poland, and he won via second-round technical knockout after dropping Jeżewski three times, winning the vacant WBO International cruiserweight title. • The Okolie vs. Głowacki world title bout was rescheduled for 20 March 2021, and was won by Okolie via sixth-round knockout. Glowacki was ranked #1 by the WBO and #3 by The Ring at cruiserweight. He conveyed his happiness at winning his first world title in his post-fight interview, saying Obviously I'm happy, I feel blessed... It's amazing to be able to put an exclamation mark on my life with a world title. Okolie also revealed that his promoter Eddie Hearn had made a deal with him, promising to buy him a watch if he succeeded in becoming a world champion: Four or five years ago, Eddie Hearn saw a boy from Hackney and said 'if you win a world title, I'll buy you a gold Rolex Sky Dweller'. Now I want my Sky Dweller. And he said I'd get another one if I unify, too! • Okolie vs. Prašović • Okolie made the first defence of his WBO cruiserweight title against WBO's #1 contender Dilan Prašović on 25 September 2021 on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk.[44] Okolie retained his title, winning by third-round knockout. • Okolie vs. Cieślak • It was announced on 7 January 2022, that Okolie would make his second WBO title defence against Michał Cieślak, who was at the time the #3 ranked WBO cruiserweight contender, on 27 February 2022. Okolie was seen as the 1/9 favourite to retain his title, while bookmakers had Cieślak as the 9/2 underdog. In a scrappy bout that featured a lot of grappling and rabbit punches, Okolie retained his world title with a unanimous decision victory, with judges' scorecards of 117–110, 116–111 and 115–112 in his favour. • #lawrenceokolie • #LawrenceOkolieknockouts#boxing • #LawrenceOkoliehighlights
