Two-weight world champion Lawrence Okolie makes his first venture into the heavyweight division against Hussein Muhamed this weekend and our resident boxing expert Rob Tebbutt provides his best bets ahead of the bout.
Lawrence Okolie faces Hussein Muhamed on Saturday night, as the two-weight world champion makes his heavyweight debut.
Okolie, a former cruiserweight and bridgerweight belt-holder, should breeze through against Germany’s Muhamed and set himself up for a big fight in 2025.
In Muhamed’s only real step-up so far, he was halted in round three by Kazakhstan’s Zhan Kossibutskiy and I’ll be backing Okolie to go one better and get the stoppage inside the first couple of rounds on Saturday night.
