Lawrence Okolie First Heavyweight Opponent Under Discussion

Lawrence Okolie First Heavyweight Opponent Under Discussion

The well known UK cruiserweight Lawrence Okolie is moving to the heavyweight division in exciting times soon.

He brings all action Okolie and is as fearless as they come.

Per Mike Coppinger on X they are looking at Cuban Luis Ortiz as the opponent for Okolie’s first first at heavyweight.

Ortiz is now 45 and hasn’t boxed much in recent years but is still a big name at heavyweight and if he is in shape, a tricky operator who can’t be underestimated for a first fight in the division by Okolie.
