Former WBO light heavyweight belt holder Lawrence Okolie spoke about his desire to fight with absolute heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.

"If I have the opportunity to fight Usyk, I will definitely agree. But the chances of that are slim. I would just like to become a world champion in three weight categories. So that at the end I can look back on my career and see the titles there.

It's more important for my son that I take titles, not make money. Money is no longer a motivation. If my son ever googles my name, I want it to say a guy who fell down, got up and then became a champion," Boxing Scene quoted Okolie as saying.
