Lawrence Okolie takes on Michal Cieslak this Sunday in the second defence of the Briton’s WBO cruiserweight championship.
Okolie will be backed by a hometown crowd at London’s O2 Arena, which will host the event and welcome 10,000 fans despite Storm Eunice having damaged the venue’s roof last week.
Poland’s Cieslak (21-1) will not only look to take Okolie’s title but will also seek to ruin the 29-year-old’s unbeaten record of 17-0.
On the undercard, Team GB gold medalist Galal Yafai makes his professional debut, and Campbell Hatton – son of former world champion Ricky Hatton – will also be in action.
