Okolie wants a fight with Kabayel

Andrew Karlov Aug. 7, 2025, 4:55 a.m.

Lawrence Okolie (22-1, 15 KO), confidently defeating Kevin Lerena by points in his second fight in the heavyweight division, wants to fight Agit Kabayel (26-0, 18 KO).

“This could be my next fight or one of the next ones, I think we will meet Kabayel sooner or later. I don’t see anyone in boxing right now who could challenge him,” stated the former world champion in the cruiserweight and bridgerweight divisions in an interview with The Ring magazine.

Lawrence Okolie currently holds the WBC silver belt and leads the list of contenders for the World Boxing Council in the heavyweight division. Kabayel holds the interim title of world champion according to the WBC. The current WBC champion remains Oleksandr Usyk (24-0, 15 KO).
