[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Lawrence Okolie is willing to embrace his toughest test to date for his next point, to the point of potentially concede hometown advantage in the process. The unbeaten cruiserweight from London is awaiting marching orders for a crack at former two-time titlist Krzysztof Glowacki in their World Boxing Organization (WBO)-ordered vacant title fight. The two sides have been in talks to work out terms for such a bout, which is being eyes for late March in Chicago, Illinois. The development was confirmed by Eddie Hearn-Okolie's promoter-during a recent interview with IFL TV.

Save us all from a horribly boring Okolie title reign, Glowacki.

Hopefully Briedis-Dorticos actually happens, then Glowacki gets the winner of that fight after he beats Okolie.

The Sauce is on the verge of becoming the man at cruiserweight!

He has size, reach, power, and fights dirty as well as he makes it awkward!

I think he’s gonna take the fading Glowacki to school who at one time was the number 1 cruiserweight in the world before Usyk got to him!

Good fight, DAZN coming strong in the New Years!

Usyk should come back to cruiser just to beat okolie.

I like this bout and believe I’ll be favoring the Brit to take the title by UD

Several factors in this potential fight. For starters, I don't think Glowacki's fight vs Briedis should be seen as Glowacki being shot. He did after all get dropped several seconds after the bell in one round because Robert Byrd's hearing must've went bonkers in not hearing the bell. And then earlier, an elbow from Briedis. Okolie is solid, and unconventional, good power... but he's much less tested than Glowacki has been. Tough to call a winner here.

Okolie has been terrible to watch at Cruiser, but his ultimate destination given his height and age will be heavyweight.

It’ll be interesting to see how he fairs against more evenly matched fighters in terms of height and reach - hopefully it will make his fights a bit more entertaining! His current level of opposition just haven’t found a way to combat his height and reach and it’s lead to a lot of snoozefests.
