Okolie Stages Lightning Comeback, Captures WBC Bridgerweight Title in First-Round TKO
British boxer Lawrence Okolie turned back the clock on Friday night, dismantling Polish challenger Lukasz Rozanski in a breathtaking first-round TKO. This emphatic victory marks not only Okolie's return to glory but also his ascension to the throne of a new weight class, as he is crowned the inaugural WBC bridgerweight world champion.
Seeking redemption after his cruiserweight setback last year, Okolie ventured into Rozanski's home turf in Poland. But instead of a hostile environment, he found an audience stunned into silence by his ferocious display. Nicknamed the "Hackney Bomber," Okolie unleashed a whirlwind of power punches, sending Rozanski crashing to the canvas a remarkable three times within a blink of an eye. The final knockdown, a vicious right uppercut, left Rozanski barely conscious, forcing the referee to step in and wave the fight off.
With this win, Okolie improves his professional record to 20-1, solidifying his status as a future heavyweight contender. While Rozanski experiences his first career loss, Okolie establishes himself as the king of the bridgerweight division, and fans can expect him to set his sights on unifying all the belts in the weight class. The boxing world eagerly awaits Okolie's next move as he looks to solidify his reign as the undisputed WBC bridgerweight champion.
