Lawrence Okolie vs Lukasz Rozanski: UK start time, TV channel, live stream of world bridgeweight title fight

LAWRENCE OKOLIE is gunning for a world title shot once again when he faces Lukasz Rozanksi later this month.

‘The Sauce’ lost the WBO cruiserweight belt to former teammate Chris Billam-Smith last summer and has been recovering ever since.

But now he’s back in a different weight class, the WBC’s newly created Bridgerweight, to try and win gold once again.

Okolie faces Rozanski, who beat Alen Babic to win the 224-pound title last year.

Victory would make him a two-weight world champion, with the added insight that one day he could still challenge as a heavyweight.

But first he needs to get past Rozanski, who will be prepared to do so in front of his fans.

When is Okolie vs Rozanski?

• Okolie’s clash with Rozanski will take place on Friday, May 24.
• The match will be held at the Podpromie Arena in Rzeszow, Poland.
• Circular walks for the main event are expected to start at around 10:30pm BST.

What is the channel and can it be broadcast live?

Okolie vs Rozanski will be shown live on Sky Sports Arena in the UK.

You can stream the action live on the NOW TV or Sky Go app, both of which are available to download onto your phone or tablet.

What was said?

“I’m excited to go to Poland and test myself once again away from home,” said Okolie.

“Rozanski is a good champion, with an explosive style, but I come to do serious damage. He has never seen power like mine.”

“I’m defending my world title in my backyard, in my city, fighting a former world champion,” said Rozanski.

“It’s a fantastic fight, I’ve trained a lot for moments like this my whole life.”
