WBO world heavyweight champion Lawrence Okoli (18-0, 14 KOs) may soon sign a contract with MVP Promotions Jake Paul. The Briton has one more fight to complete under a contract with Matchroom Boxing. ...
Eddie Hearn said that Okoli's return to the ring is expected in the first quarter of next year. The Englishman is currently training in Dubai for his next professional appearances. In recent weeks, he received several offers from Matchroom, but did not take them.
The 29-year-old recently ended his relationship with Anthony Joshua's management agency 258MGT. The two-time world heavyweight champion has supported Okoli's career since his professional debut.
