Okolie's heavyweight opponent named

Britain’s Lawrence Okolie (pictured), who previously held world titles at 200 and 224 pounds, will make his heavyweight debut on Queensberry’s “Magnificent 7” card on December 7th in London. Okolie (20-1 with 15 KOs) will face Germany's Hussein Muhamed, who currently has a record of 18-1 with 14 KOs. Muhamed comes into this fight after defeating Ali Kiydin by decision in May while Okolie comes into this fight after scoring a first-round knockout over previously undefeated Lukasz Rozanski last May. That fight earned Okolie the WBC bridgerweight title, which he promptly renounced in order to campaign as a heavyweight.
