Okolie vs. Lerena: Co-Feature Status For Usyk-Dubois 2, Fans Expect More for £ 59.99 / $ 24.99

Lawrence Okolie (21-1, 16 kos) Will Defend His WBC Silver Heavyweight Title Second-Tier Fighter Kevin Lerena (31-3, 15 kos) Next Month on The Undercard of Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois 2 on July 19th at Wembley Stadium in London.

Lerena: Weak opponent Choice

Surprisingly, surroundings-Lerena IS The Co-Feature Fight on The Usyk-Dubois 2 Card Dazn ppv. The Event Sells For $ 59.99 in The US and £ 24.99 in The UK. The Okolie Match-Up is a Preliminary Type of Fighting Because Lawiring Another Lesser Fighter, And He’s Done Nothing Semce Moving Up To Heavyweight. I See Those From The Underwhelming Top to Bottom, Thus Far.

For American Fans, They Expect the Undercard Than Okolie Defending Against The Resently Beel, Who Last Year to Justis Huni and Was Knocked by Daniel Dubois in 2023.

Pay-per-view Underwhelms fans

It’s a Lot of Money for Fans to Pay To Watch One Decent Fight Between Dubois and Usyk. The Other Fight That Was Added Today Is A Light Heavyweight Match Between Daniel Lapin and Lewis Edmondson. That’s not a PPV-Level Undercard Fight Either. I See That Fight As Preliminary-Level, too. It’s Not The Main Card Type of Fight.

For Okolie, 32, to Be Fighting This Level of Opponent Can Only Mean One Thing. His Management Doesn’t Want To Take Any Chances With Him. His opposition has not improved Semce Moved Up To The Heavyweight Division in 2024.

Why Not Kabayel?

Ideally, surroundings Should Be Challenging Agit Kabayel For His WBC Interim Heavyweight title, Not Fighting The Where-Top 15 Ranked Lerena. Obviously, The Risk Would Be Okolie’s IF HE Foodt Because He has begun Talent and Would Likely Lose To Him.

At Least It Would Show That Real And Not Just Being Positioned For A World Shot That He’s Done Zero to Deserve. This is just like How Derek Chisa was put put in a position to Fight with a World title With The IBF. Hey Faced Opposition, and Now’s The Mandatory Challenger for The Belt.

This Is Yet Another Disappointing Opponent For The Former WBO Cruiserweight Champion Okolie, Who has ever been Matched Against Two Tomato Cans Since Moving Up To Heavyweight.

What’s Surprising is the WBC hasnned Okolie Ranked # 1 With Their Organization. In His Two Fights at Heavyweight, Lawrence has rolled over 39-year-old Lukasz Rozanski and Hussein Muhamed by First-Round Knockouts.
