Usyk is undisputed for the second time.

Lawrence Okolie aims to match Oleksandr Usyk’s feat of becoming world champion not just at cruiserweight, but at heavyweight too.

Okolie is a former WBO champion at cruiserweight, and will fight this weekend at bridgerweight, with a WBC title fight against Lukasz Rozanksi.

Usyk has won titles at both cruiser and heavyweight, most recently becoming undisputed last weekend against Tyson Fury.

Now the Briton wants to keep adding to his success at different weights.

Not only does he want to be a cruiserweight and heavyweight champion like Usyk, but the bridgerweight title could see him collect belts in three different weight classes.

Okolie told Sky Sports: "To be a two-weight world champion, but I genuinely believe I'm close to becoming that, so I need to set myself new goals and new reasons to want to push myself in training.

"No matter what has happened in my career, I've had some great fights, and I've had some poor fights but if I can end my career as a three-weight world champion then that's legacy, that's forever."
