Okoli will be back on February 27

Lawrence Okoly

February 27 in the UK Lawrence Okoly (17-0, 14 KOs) will make his second defense of his WBO World Heavyweight Championship. The British rival has not yet been officially confirmed.

Okoli, 29, has owned the World Boxing Organization belt since March and defended it for the first time in September.

It is possible that a fight between Arsen Gulamiryan (26-0, 18 KO) and Evgeny Egorov (11-0, 7 KO) will also take place at the February evening in Great Britain. The fight for the WBA first heavyweight belt was supposed to take place in early December in Russia, but was postponed due to Gulamiryan's poor health.
