Lawrence Okolie is set to make the second defence of his WBO cruiserweight title this Sunday as he faces Michal Cieslak at the O2 Arena in London.
Despite suffering damage to its roof amid Storm Eunice, the venue will welcome 10,000 fans for this world championship fight, which also sees 29-year-old Okolie (17-0) put his undefeated record on the line against Poland’s Cieslak (21-1).
The crowd will not only be backing hometown fighter Okolie but also debutant Galal Yafai, who makes his professional debut after winning gold for Team GB at last summer’s Tokyo Olympics.
Campbell Hatton, son of former world champion Ricky Hatton, will also be in action.
