Lawrence Okolie Secures Bridgerweight Title with First-Round Victory
Former WBO cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie (20-1, 14 KOs) put on a stellar display by defeating Lukasz Rozanski (15-1, 14 KOs) in the first round to become the new WBC Bridgerweight titleholder. The fight occurred in Rzeszow, Poland, where Okolie ended Rozanski’s night at 2:55 of round one with three knockdowns.
Right from the opening bell, Okolie exhibited a revamped and forceful version of himself, landing precise punches that Rozanski struggled to counter. Despite Rozanski’s previously unblemished record, Okolie’s accuracy and power proved insurmountable for his opponent.
After this impressive win, Okolie is eyeing a move up to the heavyweight division to engage in lucrative matchups against top contenders such as Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua. This strategic move is motivated by the Bridgerweight division’s lack of high-profile fighters and lucrative opportunities for significant bouts.
