Denis Lebedev of Russia will fight Lawrence Okolie of UK for the WBA cruiserweight title, which will become vacant after the transfer of the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk to the heavyweights.

It is reported that the fight will take place in the UK in May. Before this, Okolie will fight against the Spaniard Wadi Camacho on March 23 in London.

Lebedev owned the WBA regular title from 2012 to 2018, at the beginning of 2018 the organization stripped Lebedev of the title, putting it on the line in the World Boxing Super Series and transferring the Russian to the status of “world champion in recess”.
