Nelson: No one will defeat Okolie in the cruiserweights

Lawrence Okolie (15-0, 12 KOs) ratings has increased significantly after Saturday's victory over Nikodem Jezewski. The Briton knocked out the Pole in the second round and successfully returned to the ring after more than a year layoff.

“It was an example of how you can change your mind about yourself in one evening. Okolie was considered a boring boxer and now his performance has reassured fans. He is still learning, he has only 15 fights as a pro, but he has incredible punching power,” Johnny Nelson, the former cruiserweight champion and now an expert of the Sky Sports channel, scattered in compliments.

“Okolie will do the same to any opponent he can punch clean. He spars with heavyweights and gives them big problems. In the cruiserweight division I don't see anyone who could beat him," Nelson said.
