Okolie was set to face Richard Riakporhe<\/a> next on Queensberry\u2019s first card with DAZN, which also featured Joe Joyce<\/a> vs Dillian Whyte<\/a>, though Whyte withdrew and was replaced with Filip Hrgovic<\/a>.<\/p>\n Okolie has since called out Whyte<\/a>, but is unlikely to face him as Whyte will face Moses Itauma<\/a> next. Instead, Okolie\u2019s second fight at heavyweight will come against Kevin Lerena, who dropped Daniel Dubois<\/a> three times.<\/p>\n Two fights before his move to heavyweight, Okolie lost his cruiserweight title to Chris Billam-Smith<\/a>, and just one fight after, Okolie cleaned out a near-empty division.<\/p>\n Okolie came off the loss against Billam-Smith and went straight into a world title fight in Poland next.<\/p>\n Okolie faced 15-0 Lukasz Rozanski, who defeated Alen Babic, for the WBC Bridgerweight title.<\/p>\n Bridgerweight, named after a heroic boy called Bridger Walker, who saved his sister from a dog attack<\/a>, is a new division placed between cruiserweight and heavyweight.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In less than three minutes, Okolie dismantled Rozanski, and was a two-weight world champion.<\/p>\n He has since moved up to heavyweight in the hopes of becoming a three-weight champion, with Kevin Lerena being just another step to get there.<\/p>\n![\"Lawrence](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2188762430-1-1024x679.jpg\")
