Lawrence Okoli (18-0, 14 KOs) and David Light (20-0, 12 KOs) will fight for the WBO cruiserweight title on March 11 at Boxxer in London.

The tender scheduled for December 22 to select the organizer of the fight was canceled as the World Boxing Organization announced that the representatives of the boxers had reached an agreement. Interference in this case was announced by the Matchroom group, which is convinced that its contract with Okoli is still in force.

The last time the Briton fought was in February, winning on points from Michal Cieslak. Light became an official WBO title contender after a recent points victory over Brandon Glanton.
