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.

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.”
