LAWRENCE OKOLIE returns to the ring next week – and this time he’s up at heavyweight.
‘The Sauce’ hasn’t been in action since an easy KO win against Lukasz Rozanski earlier this year.
Okolie won the WBC bridgerweight title that night but will now be looking to become a three weight world champion in his quest at heavyweight.
His first opponent is Hussein Muhamed, a German with a record of 18 wins and one defeat.
There’ll be sterner tests to come for Okolie, but getting an emphatic win here would put him in good stead.
The fight is part of a stacked card at Wembley which is being headlined by Brad Pauls’ British title clash against Denzel Bentley.
When is Okolie vs Muhamed?
- Okolie’s clash with Muhamed will take place on Saturday, December 7.
- The bout will be held at Wembley Arena in London.
- Okolie’s fight isn’t the main event, and is expected to get going at round 8pm, midway through the card.
What channel is it on and can it be live streamed?
- Okolie vs Muhamed will be shown live on TNT Sports 1 in the UK.
- You can live stream all the action from the Discovery+ app, which is available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.
