Okoli coolly dealt with his opponent and will now fight with Itauma

On the night of December 21 in Lagos, Nigeria, a super heavyweight rating fight took place, in which the British met Lawrence Okolie (22–1, 17 KOs) and a representative of Ghana Ebenezer Tette (23–3, 20 KO),

As expected, the favorite seized the initiative from the first seconds, easily destroyed the opponent from Ghana with long-range accentuated blows, and moved well on his feet.

Okoli caught Ebenezer well with a straight right, added a right cross. Too easily, the British pierced the defense of the opponent, who almost did not counterattack and thought more about survival.

In the second round, Lawrence continued to combine – right and left hooks and jabs flew towards Tette. Ebenezer was knocked down, somehow waited for the gong and simply did not go out for the next 3 minutes.

Okoli is now required to face compatriot Moses Itauma in his next fight to determine an opponent for WBC world champion Oleksandr Usyk.
