Anthony Joshua vs Kubrat Pulev: The undercard
HACKNEY cruiserweight Lawrence Okolie was meant to be fighting for a world title on Saturday’s bill at Wembley Arena. He had essentially spent the whole of 2020 working towards his WBO title fight with Krzysztof Glowacki, an intense training camp with a host of sparring partners flown in, all focused on the Polish southpaw. But Glowacki failed a coronavirus test on December 3, kicking off a last minute search for a replacement opponent. A shame for Okolie, who was looking for a high level world title fight and a strong performance to take his pro career to a new level.
